    A lot of folks on this board were with me on the Herbert express. I get the Buckner deal, which we later pulled off. It made sense. But wow! How different would the Colts have been over the past few years, had we moved up and taken Herbert?

     

    It took me forever to dig this thread back up. A lot of folks hit on Herbert too. I only remembered it being a few, but there were many with me on this. Some excellent back and forth’s in this old thread. 

    Herbert was one of my favorite prospects in that class

     

    Can only wonder what would've happened if he ended up in Colts blue

    maybe over watson but reading the draft reports of mahomes no one thought mahomes would be good at all .    we dont know is my point im not gonna crown stroud of young as the next great QB until they prove it

    There's plenty of scouts and NFL personnel that had Mahomes as QB1 and QB2 

     

    I pinned him as QB1 on this forum that year

    this is why this hits harder than it looks.  We’re pretty much at the mercy of the cardinals on who our pick will be.

    Here is the really bad thing. Cardinals could get a heck of a lot more from a team behind the colts to move up to 3. Say raiders or falcons. Then colts only have one option.

    Carter and Anderson aren't making it past 6

     

    Cardinals desperately need one of them

    i am not gonna crown any of these QBs until the see them play the bears thought they owned every one by trading up to take mitch over mahomes .......   because mahomes struggled to win games in college and was raw

    Mahomes showed more in college than Trubisky ever did

     

    National media clowned Chicago for drafting Trubisky over Watson and Mahomes

    im speaking in the future tense.  This team is at minimum 2 years from playoffs contention. We could sign or trade for a WR1 in the future.  Im not thinking about this year or next because this team is in rebuild mode.  Look at the other teams like the bills or eagles.  They didn’t draft their WR1s.  Some teams do, others don’t.  But the one thing they had was THEIR qb, which were now hoping between Richardson or levis will pan out because guess what, if they don’t we’re going to be picking high again anyway and hopefully it’s during a year with a good qb class or we could end up like the teams last year in the draft.

    The team is in rebuild mode?

     

    They have a defense that's ready to go minus a DB, an OL that should be much better this season and Taylor and Pittman

     

    The Texans are a rebuild team. The Colts are not

    There is only one man that has soundly beaten all 4 top prospects.

     

    I attach the end of the Georgia OSU game for your enjoyment.

     

     

    If Stetson Bennett is starting games for the Colts in '23, you can pen us into the #1 pick next year.

    If the Bears were inclined to move off Fields and take a QB at 1 overall, why would we ever give up our 1st for Fields? 

     

    If anything, we could get him for pick 35 or a third at that point.

     

    Same with Lance, we could get him for pick 35

    Fields and Lance are both going to net a high first rounder and late first rounder respectively if they ever get traded

     

    We wouldn't get either for #35..

    Fine with me. Seriously. If the Bears truthfully think this class is better than Fields, why take him? 

    Oh I agree!

     

    The Colts should stay away from Fields

    I like Fields, but I'm gonna pass on this. It has nothing to do with Justin but everything to do with getting "our guy".

     

    And honestly, I think I'd rather trade back or stay put, bulk up on some 1st round talent and then get Hooker or McKee in the 2nd/3rd round over trading that 4 for Fields. 

    Hooker and McKee are not the saviors for the franchise.

     

    Take one of the top 4 QBs and roll
