Not sure, and also not sure a 4-5 wouldn't be possible. Also, not even really concerned if a 6-7th rounder would make the team- though guys like Jones and Wohler give you hope that you can find that gem in the rough.
The kid has an enormous set of skills and is still younger than several QB's drafted this year. I have no idea what others may give for him though there has been chatter that teams have inquired. Push him off somewhere and if he becomes a star, so fucking be it, but the circumstances that have unfolded here, would sure as hell seem to indicate the Colts don't think that is a very strong possibility- if they did, the fucker is starting the season.
I would immediately move him. Shit is too fried here now, too much bitterness and I don't think Steichen wants anything to do with him really. There's going to be a TON of noise the minute DJ has a slightly off performance. Everyone is going to clammer for him to come in and throw the 60 yard streak strikes- everyone is going to want the juice if you will. A massive distraction is just waiting to boil over.
Leonard on the other hand carries such little risk. He comes in and sucks, you're getting what you expected and the FANS are getting a chance at another high QB pick next April. He comes in and somehow looks the part, well maybe you have a Purdy Esque situation and you can focus on building around him- with a better fucking GM.
