This years QB class is not near as good as everyone thought it would be. There is not a lot of difference in the 1st 4-5 QB's IMO. Trade the 1st for future draft picks and take a QB later in the draft.

Most of the fan base doesn't understand this and expects them to draft a QB and expects that QB to be great.

The same fans that sold their Steeler tickets to Steeler fans for a nationally televised game!

Fans setting themselves up for disappointment? Nah!

All the Colts have to do is "whatever it takes." And if that doesn't work, they should definitely "just make it happen."

I've only watched 4 so far, but 2 of them appeared to be franchise caliber to me, and 1 has enough tools to be dangerous.

If the Colts get Young or Stroud, the fans will not be disappointed.

The Colts will have a Top 5 pick, future picks, and several high value players they can negotiate with. IF Ballard believes the franchise guy is there, there is no excuse for not getting him. If not, then he better find a different long term answer for the QB position. I think Ballard is a very good GM, and this is the first time he's truly had the draft capital to get a franchise QB since the franchise QB he walked into the job with retired unexpectedly. If he doesn't capitalize on this opportunity, the argument for him being shown the door gains a lot of merit. If he does, he has the potential to reach Polian status with this franchise.

Upside is Josh Allen, Carson Wentz is a much more likely outcome.

Much quicker release than Wentz and played vs real competition in college.

He reminds me of Big Ben
