Young, promising defense with talent, a very questionable scheme, and no ultimte purpose. Welcome to the Indiana Pacers (who I stopped watching after the 1999/2000 finals. They have zero chance to ever win a championship). I'll keep watching, but I'm glad I don't pay money for this team.
PS: Do not throw Eason in. You'll ruin him outright like Josh Rosen

The Colts don't get Buckner if Luck doesn't retire. Maybe you can have the best of both worlds and he'll come back (unlikely), but Luck would've taken last year's team to the playoffs and would have this team in strong Super Bowl contention.
Hopefully there's another Russell Wilson out there.
For context, Russell Wilson was my #2 QB in 2012, and until they cut Peyton, there was a scenario I'd hoped for in vain where some team gave up a king's ransom for the #1 overall pick, the Colts finally built a defense for Peyton Manning, and drafted Wilson at the top of Round 2 or 3. With the benefit of hindsight, this obviously would've been the best choice. Maybe Trey Lance is that guy, but I don't have the confidence in him that I had in Wilson just watching film. He seems like more of a scrambler than a pocket QB with great speed and athleticism, which was how Wilson looked on film. Then again, that is the direction the NFL is moving in, so maybe that is to his benefit.
