They have a ton of draft pick in the next 2 years.

Young-Stroud is going to turn out like Winston-Mariota.

They had a lot of holes too but they do have a ton of pics.

Deep in mid tier talent. Pretty shallow in impact/franchise type players. Espn radio today was talking how there are only about a dozen players with legit 1st round grades. Besides, Texans had 23 picks in next 2 drafts. Small risk, huge reward.

They now have top caliber QB and Edge rusher to build around on cheap deals.

I like the aggressiveness from the Texans. They still have a one next year and got the top D player and IMO the top QB in this draft.
I don’t like Young because of his height. They were comparing him to Brees who was right at 6’ not 5’10. He isn’t as big as R Wilson so I think it’s a bad pick. Only time will tell…

Surprised Indy went TE this early.

Young vs Stroud vs Richardson will be interesting. Odds on who will be the best - Stroud 60% Young 39% Richardson 1%.

[*Synric*]

Anthony Richardson's throwing mechanics are atrocious...

[TecmoBengals]

Watching QBs getting taken makes me so happy we have Burrow.

I suppose the Colts are going to let Richardson run.

[Burma]

really liking the alt team logos on the wall in that hallway prior to the stage. Bengals is pretty sharp. Texans and Bears looked good as well.

[Clark W Griswold]

I think the Colts will be looking for another QB in a couple of years.
Accuracy matters - but that TD/INT ratio is terrible.

[Housh]

My mock is 4/4 now. Should get messed up soon. Got the picks right but no way even ONE person thought Houston would trade up

What did you expect?

To watch the draft, not the NFL sucking KC ****.

If those 2 bust which is very likely that might be the worst draft day decision of all time.

I noticed those in that hallway they walked through. They should put that tiger head on some merch. I would buy it!

[Joelist]

So the Colts have a QB now who is an atrocious pure passer.

What will also be interesting is these three kid QBs will all be out there behind suspect lines and lack really sound receiving corps. Rough growing periods.

My reasoning for mocking him to Indy was, you are taking a chance on Levis or Richardson as neither are really ready so why not get the guy with the higher ceiling?



Id rather miss on a guy like AR who still may have some use at another position than miss on Levis.

Ok this made me LOL

Lord Colts been needing to draft a QB and they take Richardson… didn’t really have much choice. I’m not convinced by any of the QB’s in this class
