Well, I think that the story that Peter King and Breer is spreading is the narrative that the Colts want out there.

They don't want other teams to connect one specific name to them.

I'm sure the Colts would prefer that Houston and Arizona stay put and draft a non-QB and then the Colts could choose between the 3 QB's at 1.04.

This draft is the most tightly controlled I can remember, I don't think anybody but the teams themselves really know what the first 4 picks will be....maybe Young is a lock at 1, but I am not convinced that that is even for sure!

I'll wait for draft day, because none of the "insiders" seem to know anything this year. The only thing I'm certain of at this point is my order of preference of the QBs, which is: Stroud, Young, Richardson, trade for another QB, trade down and draft DTR later, just about any other option the Colts could do to address the QB position, Levis

The bigger question is why would you ask me a question I answered several days ago? Again, we all root for laundry, I want the Colts to win no matter what. That said, am I going to be incredibly angry if CJ Stroud and Will Levis are both what I think they are, the Colts draft Levis, and we have to watch Stroud kick the Colts ass for the next 15 years? Of course.

24 Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers qb, California

Remember this when you think NFL GMs are infallible and can't possibly pick the wrong guy. 22 teams with 23 picks (Dallas had picks 11 and 20) passed on Aaron Rodgers. Most of those teams did so for a fringe starter or a bust.

Well, Demarcus Ware was probably the best pick of that draft. But you're right, with an aging Bledsoe at QB, you would think that rather than double dipping at DE the Cowboys should have taken Rodgers.

The crazy thing for me is seeing 3 RBs drafted top 5. Great indicator of how much the game has changed

Rodgers is more valuable than Ware, but yes, I think if the Cowboys had it to do over they'd've gone Ware at 11 and Rodgers at 20.

Positional value has permeated the league. Bijan Robinson is the best RB prospect since Saquon Barkley, and there's a chance he might not go in Round 1.

He will most definitely will go in round 1.
