To be fair, the NFL has rules about teams not outwardly stating who the number 1 overall pick is before draft night. I’m sure it has something to do with ratings, intrigue, etc. 

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.

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. 

100% and I don’t have a problem with people liking other QBs more, I just think a lot are writing Bryce off prematurely.

The moment Bryce Young did that interview with Smitty it was a done deal he was going to be the pick. Smitty even gave hints during the interview.

Not confident that the FO is reporting final draft decisions to Smitty so he can throw out Easter eggs on a podcast.  I could be wrong.

Care to make a bet?

 

I got Young as the pick you can have I'm honestly  60/40 that he may be the pick... so a bet would do me no good. I just think they are keeping the phone lines open just in case bc it seems other teams have preferred  Qbs.

Trade back for AR would make sense. Maybe there is a slight chance they might make a trade last moment. Honestly it depends on how much the Texans want Young.

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’m good with Bryce, AR, or Stroud. Would also prefer Hooker over Levis.

If they do trade back (which I don’t see happening at this point) I do agree that it would be for AR. But I’m pretty confident Bryce will be the pick at this point because the reporting, both nationally and locally, hasn’t changed for a few weeks now. 
 

Now if something in the reporting changes next week then I’ll believe he isn’t the pick but for now, I think it’ll be him.

WIll Levis is the second best QB in this draft. 

I definitely don't want to take the risk on him but I swear I keep getting this feeling that's he's going to end up being the big dawg out of this draft at QB. We'll see!

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.

Trust the GM and coaches. Their jobs depend on this.

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.

That's cool, but all this negative talk about Bryce Young is getting annoying.

 

All yall complain about is his size, size, size!

 

What about his ability to play QB at a elite level? What about his ability to make plays after the play breaks down? What about his ability to take command of the offense?

 

 

His size seriously affects his ability to play QB at an elite level in the NFL.

It seems it would but it might not.  We will see, I guess.

I mean he hasn't taken a snap in the league yet for you to definitively say that though, that's the issue. It could, yes, but it's no way of knowing for certain yet because it just hasn't happened.

Kyler Murray seemed to played it well enough so far.

 

Who's to say Young can't do the same or better?

 

Injuries have more to do than just being small. Cam Newton was 6'6 250 and he stayed banged up now his career looks to be cut short at the age of 33.

I didn't mention injuries.
