yeah i just watched it myself. while there is no such thing as a sure bet, luck has much more upside, then downside

Not necessarily. Luck may very well have been at his best last season. He could plateau. I'd rather take someone with a lot of raw, untapped talent who needs some time. That's what Rodgers was, Steven Young too.

You can say that about any QB in college. "Well maybe this year was his best year and he won't get better" Keep in mind that this year Luck had absolutely nobody, besides a good line, and a good running back. His defense was crap, his receivers were crap and the coach was useless. He was the leader of that team... sound familiar?

That was also a guy like Akili Smith. How did that work out?

The guys who know this stuff and I mean like live, eat, and breath this stuff say Luck is a can't miss guy. They also fully understand what they are saying when they say he's the best thing to come along since Manning. Now clearly NOTHING in the draft is a lock but these who are much more educated than any of us on this forum seem to think he's about as close to as a lock as you are going to get in the draft.

Also if we are going to keep Manning it makes sense to draft the guy who is more like Manning because that means he can learn the same offense and you don't have to change it like you would for a RGIII.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :

      Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
