As for the Colts, the best thing that can come of a Will Levis draft pick in my opinion is a high likelihood of being close enough to the #1 pick in the 2024 draft that if Caleb Williams and Drake Maye pan out as advertised, the Colts would have a shot at one of them. The problem with that is that the front office might be too stubborn at that point, decide to stick with Levis, and we're looking at another decade plus of futility while the Texans build something similar to the 2000s Colts.

Carolina is probably picking Stroud. But rumors are that some of the panthers top people are enamored with Richardson’s potential. I don’t see Stroud going to Houston. I think there is bad blood there since he has the same agent as Watson.
