I saw a mock draft that a Texans fan described as their nightmare in the comments. In it, the Texans drafted Will Anderson at 2 and Will Levis at 12, while the Colts grabbed CJ Stroud at 4. I'm desperately hoping for that Texans fan's nightmare to become reality.
The jump in quality from this year to next is not as dramatic as last year to this year. But it should be a good and deep class with the top candidates at the very least equal to this year's candidates. That said, waiting for another year rarely works out how the team wants it to. If you have an opportunity you should probably take it.

There is a lot of dis-info going on right now. Reminds me of the Herbert/Tua draft. I don't really believe any of it. A couple more weeks we will see.

I would love it if some one slipped Peyton truth serum, and he lead with, “that dumb mofo couldnt spell cat if you spotted hi a C and an A”

Yes …. But he’s inexperienced at calling plays like that and radio goes off at 15 seconds on the play clock so he isn’t gonna have the luxury of letting the defense setup and then looking to Steichen to see what to do

Reich never called plays before he got to Indy. Steichen has.

Now apparently the Panthers are settled on Young, the Texans can't find a trade partner for the #2 pick, and the Colts may have their pick of Stroud, Richardson, and Levis at 4? This is lining up too perfectly for the Colts. How is it going to get screwed up?

Local guys down here mostly seem to think HOU doesn't want Stroud. Enough that I think I buy that. I've heard a few guys float the idea that they're willing to trade, but I hadn't heard that nobody wants it.

It's all just more questions. Stroud is getting absolutely raked lately between the bad testing, flaking out, and the red flags about system/coachability. If HOU doesn't think he's worth #2 and nobody is willing to trade up to get him, who says the Colts would want him at #4?

I'm at the point that I'm not even sure we take a QB.

Ballard is doing his job well, then.

Who knows, maybe all the dirt is coming from the Colts? It's what I would do, since I want him as the Colts QB.

We gotta take a QB….

I’d be surprised if Stroud makes it to 4…

Even more surprised when they still take Richardson over him
