What you need to know

Campbell set out to prove in 2022 that he could be durable and reliable after three years of awful injury luck limited him to just 15 games from 2019-2021. Not only did Campbell play in all 17 games, he played the second-most snaps among Colts skill position players – behind only Michael Pittman Jr. – in 2022.

And Campbell was productive when he was on the field despite having the seventh-lowest average air yards per target (6.4) among wide receivers last season. He flashed his explosive acceleration and top-end speed on a handful of occasions, like his 28-yard jet sweep sprint against the Washington Commanders in Week 8 and his catch-and-run touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.

Pro Football Focus ranked Campbell as the No. 7 free agent wide receiver in 2023, and at 25 years old, he'll be among the youngest free agents available this spring.

The Levis mention is next level smokescreen by Fitterer and Reich. Rapaport earning his paycheck. 

Why are we putting out smokescreens?  We have the #1 pick

It's more likely they're actually that retarded and want him, than they're smart enough to smokescreen the first pick.

Again, whats the point of creating a smokescreen?  It literally serves no purpose

Same reason they're putting out there that they'll trade out of the first pick because they like more than one QB. It's a dumb theory, but equally dumb is the fear that Rapaport has some inside information on who the Panthers are picking.

chark seems intriguing

Chark and Campbell seem similar.  Health issues, but are good and fast when healthy.  Either one will work.

How the fug would he know?  Seriously who in our front office A)knows definitively who the pick is and B)willing to risk their job telling him?

 

It literally makes no sense, what are you gaining by telling him?

There is a small possibility we trade down, though I doubt it happens.

I don't think they know for sure yet who they are drafting though.

Its beyond dumb and the fact that its even a discussion point just makes me shake my head.  These writers know what the deal is.  I wish one would just lay it out there with some honesty instead of trying to be cute and manufacture content

There is literally no chance we trade down?  Why?  What is houston going to give us that they wouldnt give the bears?  Or you think its possible we go further then 2?  There is literally no chance we trade down.

I highly doubt we trade down, but in a world where Houston is enamored with Levis and it's obvious, you never know.  I don't think we are in that world but there's plenty of time left.

I like both but I don't know if I like paying either guy $8-10M a year with the injuries

Would prefer Chark but Campbell SHOULD be cheaper
