I would not be shocked to see him trade back and take McKee late first, or with our 2nd. if he makes it there and gain additional picks.

Thats what Ballard might do, but what do you think Irsay will tell him to do?

With all of the concerns with each of the top 3 QB's, I wouldn't want to be trading up for any of them. Yes Young might turn out to be the next Mahomes, but i think there is a huge amount of risk in that happening, and i am not comfortable mortgaging the future to potentially get that. I think Levis, Stroud and Young are all QB's that with the 4th overall pick I am happy to select and build the franchise around.

Young could be another RGIII, someone who has a great start to their career but flames out due to early injuries, that then means they have to try to change the way they play the game, and they don't have the same level of impact.

I am happy with any of the top 3 with the 4th pick, but not to have to use multiple picks to get any of them. As i said in a post a few weeks ago, the guy i believe ends up with the greatest value will be Anthony Richardson if he is selected in the mid to late first round.

I thought the statements could be applied to all of them. They keep trying to read into what he says. He’s not going to say who they want. I don’t even think they know yet.

Irsay was a GM. I would hope he would know that is akin to showing your hand in poker. I think it was more messing with people.

He wasnt a good GM. He has had a tendency to say what he thinks.

I'm hoping Irsay learned his lesson this season to stay the hell out of football operations. I get it's his team and he pays the bills, but why hire a GM then, right? Irsay is the wildcard in the whole draft/QB conundrum.

Ehh I still don't think they know who they like best yet. Young gets measured tomorrow.

If anyone in the NFL didnt think we were looking at young then they are stupid.
Its no secret we need a QB and would be doing a deep dive on all the QBs.

Fans/media blow this shit way out of proportion.

If the Colts are comfortable with Young's size, I sure wouldn't mind staying at 4 or even trading up to 3 (which won't cost a 2), taking whichever of Stroud or Young falls, and getting Calijah Kancey at 35. Looks like he might be Aaron Donald 2.0, even from the same school.

Lol, yeah, right. Jim will always be Jim.
