Unlikely, Colts scenario...
First off, I know its unlikely! ....
Bear with me here...What about the small chance the colts dont draft Luck? Colts have a LOT of needs. Everyone is focusing on the Rams for a trade up. Manning says he can play which the Colts cant officially see firsthand, yet a video "leakes" out of Peyton throwing well. So what if they believe they can still have Peyton for a couple of years? 1. Colts keep Manning 2. Colts trade#1 for say in our case 2 #1's and 2# 3's give or take 3. Colts draft say Tannehill and groom for a year or 2 under Manning 4. Colts have 4 higher picks to bolster line etc. 5. Chiefs (or other bidder) get Luck on a team with less holes I know the odds are low, but it seems to be a forgotten scenario and a forgone conclusion that the Colts take Luck no matter what. Seems RG3 has stollen all the press and momentum, but there is still a chance (albeit small) that the Colts Believe in Manning and use this position to correct the mistake of not preparing for Mannings replacement, build for the future, and keep the fanbase happy. Just a little fun, but I'd absolutely go for this! Last edited by melbar; 03-03-2012 at 03:16 PM.. |

Good thought, but...
If any team should know the value of a franchise quarterback, it's the Colts. Tannehill is far from the (almost) sure thing that Luck/Griffin are. Manning was great and maybe still is, but he's surely done in 2-3 years. 10-15 years of Luck/Griffin > 2-3 years of Manning + Tannehill (who is a question mark at this point) |

They are a really bad team in ALOT of areas.... I think trading down would actually be the smartest thing to do. Poor QB they draft is going to be inheriting a bad team that only Manning can likely cover up.

No, I don't think this. I think it could be a reasonable argument that they SHOULD though. They are caught up in that phrase "surest QB since Peyton",which I just don't really believe. And I'm not sure it's worth the ransom in draft picks they could likely get.

Luck is going to be a Colt. I thought that would be common knowledge by now. Easiest selection by a team in a loooong time.
