This kid just keeps digging a hole for himself? Seems to be one every year who shoots themselves in the foot.

As for Carter, I don't want him. Diva? Locker room cancer? Don't take that gamble !!!
Ballard would never take that kid in the top 10.

That's unfortunate to hear about Carter. Being a shithead is one thing. Being a lazy shithead is another level of red flag.

To be fair, Ballard was part of the Chiefs staff that vetted and ultimately selected Marcus Peters (who had shown to be a shithead at Washington) at #18. Peters is uber-talented and can obviously play, but was still a shithead to the point of them getting rid of him after three years.

Of course Peters never showed up fat.

This is the example of, “you cant fix stupid”

I am not sure what this word salad means.

-The Colts don't appear to be trading to 1.
-Stroud and Young will likely be drafted at 1 and 2.
-Levis and Richardson have high bust potential.
-If the Colts draft Levis or Richardson, they've committed to a QB with high bust potential.
-Alternatively, a defensive player could be drafted.
-Drafting a defensive player at 4 without having a solution in place at QB, such as Lamar Jackson, would be a large risk.

Clear?

That's because some team more than likely told Drew Rosenhaus that if Carter is there they are taking him.

You know Lamar is not happening right?, especially the way you imagine, there is the option to decide none of this year's "good" QBs are worth the cost to buy and set the franchise back 2-3 more years. Either acquire future picks in a trade down and snag a potential QB later or get the BPA at 4 and the BQB in the 2nd.

Anything that isn't trading to 1 or getting Lamar might as well be labeled "the Caleb Williams strategy" IMO. Of course Caleb Williams will likely be viewed at this time next year the way CJ Stroud is viewed now, so that should be interesting.
