Trust me, I have no choice but it is a bunch of stuff going on between them 2 teams and then supposedly at 3 the Cardinals are getting a ton of calls. Indy could very well be getting nervous if they are really on Levis.

I have just noticed that it seems the Texans n Colts beat writers have started to talk up Levis a whole bunch. With them both being in the same division, I could definitely see them trying to get their guy. Houston could be putting out they like Levis just to get Indy to call us, so Young could drop to 2... who knows but I know Fitt likes to try and look at all value. If Indy gives up some good capital, we'd have to listen.

I understand that but I just know we have a GM that is very open for business around the clock. You have a valid point tho but this is always the worse time of year trying to read GMs.

It's hard not to mention it, when it's a glaring concern. I have watched his highlights and got crunk as hell thinking about him as our pick and I've watched his lowlights and scratched my head. It is what it is tho and we will see!!

And I'd be totally for it if they feel that and proceed forward. I'm not going to sit and scream that we picked him but I could make an argument that the other Qbs could do something that Bryce couldn't. Regardless, if we pick him, I'm going to root him on but I know anything is possible until we officially confirm it.

That could've been to you but what's the point in our front office not confirming it yet... Is it that we have a GM that always wants to have options. We traded Cmac... I have seen with Fitt that he always keeps his options open. Gms get antsy the closer the draft get. Gms also play chicken as long as they can...

Man you don't have to click the link or like anything... We all entitled to our opinions bro. I will accept him and cheer him on but to act like I can't have concerns is ridiculous!! Also, you have never seen a trade on draft night.... or day before... cmon man.... anything is possible! Rather it's Bryce or the other 3, I'm going to root for him but he is not my preferred 1st choice... deal with it!

The very thing I'm scared of!! Scheming to his weaknesses and becoming 1 dimensional!! The number 1 pick I the draft has to be a lil more than intelligent. It's why so many Qbs like him go later in the Draft because the risk factor matches. No GMs/coaches have to look over their shoulder as much. He has skill and I'm not denying that, just hate the thought of the offense being stuck at some point.

I always keep my mind open to all opinions but I think I'd like the extra picks and 1 of the 2 Qbs I think are just as good. I'm not too high on Levis but I wouldn't mind either of Stroud or AR in the trade back. I think as we get closer to Thursday, more possibility of trade talks will heat up. All that's needed is 1 of Indy or Houston to get antsy with the anticipation and both have owners with those issues.

Vegas has now shifted Levis to be selected number 2 in the Draft. There have been numerous signs pointing at The Colts loving him and recently Houston beat writers have mentioned him too. This could pit them both against each other and we could possibly drop to 2 or 4 and still net one of AR or Stroud. This would be the perfect time to be on the phones with the Colts. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/04/22/will-levis-is-now-the-betting-favorite-to-go-no-2-overall/

Exactly! I'm one that doesn't hate Bryce at all but we did invest a bunch to move up to 1. That alone makes you want to be sure your investment odds last as long as they can. I think some are blinded by highlight plays and don't even care. I'm going to root for him if he is the pick but you are right, as long as he plays that thought will hang over him. An analyst just mentioned how Russell career went off the deep end(people forget the last couple years in Seattle too) and how it is a huge outlier. What happens when you have injury concerns on the oline, a couple wrs go down... will we get schemed easier due to his size. It's all things that have to be considered no matter where he was picked but definitely as THE NUMBER 1 PICK.

Bro, I am really here scratching my head now because I'd hate for us to trade up to 1... and this dude turns into Johnny Manziel bc of limitations. I had watched highlights of Bryce and saw the magic but I hope it translates bc he sure did seem to hold the ball a bunch.

I'm going to support whoever and I have warmed up to Bryce but watching this video really has me kind of questioning him. When they ask what trait is elite and will that elite be different vs elite level players. I'm a lil worried but hopefully we continue to build around him if he is the pick!

Yes, you have some very valid points!! I think it'll be Young too but Fitt is definitely playing this close to the vest!!!

I just seen a tweet earlier from Mike Kaye that has me confused. He mentioned how Frank will be using the RPO offense and to make of that, what you will. I had accepted that Young is the gut but he doesn't fit the RPO. Then you look at the whole Richardson in a trade down to 2 scenario. I'm wondering if they are really thinking of AR all alone and trying to ride it out until it's definite not trade can be made. Ready for this to be over!!

This quote kind of makes me think that they are still open for a trade down and semi advertising it.

I'll get on board with whoever but could this be that Bryce has a guarantee that he will be took by Houston at 2 if we don't at 1? I think it'd be kind of rude to lock it in and still have Stroud n Levis come tomorrow. If it's the case, just cancel the visits because this has drug on long enough.

Possibly but being that they are in the same division... the threat would make Houston front office think at least. As others have stated, Houston front office isn't that well renowned to make good decisions!

I had that same thought too until I wondered I Indy got involved. All it takes is for a leak of Indy wanting to move up to 1 and Houston trying to block that. Apparently Indy called Chicago too and offered Pittman n etc. Houston has to have their head on the swivel. This is why the Chicago GM said we wanted to control the draft.

Those 2 would be good too!! I just know that Harrisons upside is out of this world! JSN is definitely a guy that will shine in the league tho. He has an uncanny way of working the middle of the field to get open.

I wouldnt be mad at that scenario, as long as we got the right compensation!!

In the hypothetical world where Houston calls us and does want to get to 1, what's your options? I know I've seen pick number 12 but I would rather have their 1st next year. I think Houston will be picking again in the top 5 and that could very well give us Stroud and Harrison! I like all 3 QBs but just getting away from the back n forth.

To me he is high on Stroud n Richardson due to the whole size and prototype stuff! There is some serious back n forth going on between who he likes and who others like. It's blatantly obvious that discussions are being made and the decision isn't done. Even though most are assured that it's Bryce.

I did but there is some substance to some stuff. I think it's pretty obvious that Tepper likes Bryce and Frank likes Stroud. That vibe has been present for awhile now.
