2023 NFL Draft Colts prefer drafting QB over pursuing Lamar Jackson undecided on choice at No. 4 per report
The first round of the 2023 is only 15 days, and even after months of deliberating, some teams have yet to finalize their evaluations of the draft's top quarterbacks. One of those teams is the , . Part of the reason for that could be the Colts, who own the draft's fourth overall pick, were one of Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey the few teams who actually showed a public level of interest in after about requesting a trade from the Baltimore Ravens."Anytime a special player is available, which he Jackson is, you've got to do the work," Colts general manager Chris Ballard said on March 27, . "I'm not gonna get into deep discu sions on where it's at or what we're doing or what we might do, but what I'll tell you is he's a really good player, really special player. But you never know how any of this will work out."However, it appears like the ultimate shot-caller -- team owner Salvon Ahmed Jersey Jim Irsay -- prefers to go the draft route, likening the value of first-round picks to "gold." If Indianapolis was to sign Jackson, whom the have applied a franchise tag on, it would have to send the Ravens two first-round picks, something Irsay appears to be vehemently against. "Our belief, and my belief, has always been you build through the draft, the draft is your pipeline for succe s or failure," Irsay said, via ESPN. "That is where it's at." First-year Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen echoed his bo s' philosophy that the draft is the top team-building tool."We're focused on the Will Fuller V Jersey draft and I'm focused on the guys that are in the building right now," Steichen said Wednesday, . "That's where we're at." Given "that's where it's at," the Colts are now tasked with figuring out which quarterback prospect they like best between Florida's Anthony Richardson and Kentucky's Will Levis since they are "preparing for the po sibility" that Alabama's Bryce Duke Riley Jersey Young and Ohio State's C.J. Stroud are the first two pa sers selected, per ESPN. Richardson (2022) joined (2018), the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and Caleb Williams (2021), the likely first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, as the only quarterbacks with multiple pa sing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns of over 50 yards in the same season acro s the last five years. Levis has the sixth-most pa sing yards (5 Jason McCourty Jersey ,218) and pa sing touchdowns (43) in the SEC in the last two seasons. Whoever the Colts pick will shape the futures of Ballard, new head coach Shane Steichen and the entire franchise for the foreseeable future.
