1. Colts
2. Rams

I believe the Browns have two first round picks.

Neither Ponder nor Bradford are franchise QBs.

Luck hasnt impressed me this year. Think be solid but not as good as Peyton.

Next year it's malarkey for barkley!

Luck played in a pro style offense in college and got to call his own plays. The play selection was handled pretty much the same way it is in Indy where they give Peyton a few plays and he picks the best one or audibles into a different one depending on what he sees post-huddle. If Indy is going to pick any QB to replace Manning and still run their offense the same way, Luck is the guy.

All of this RG3 hype reminds me of the Manning vs Ryan Leaf debates in 1998. Many thought Manning would be the overall better player but Leaf had more "upside" over Peyton, which is just a cutesy talent-evaluator word for more athletic. RG3 won't have a hard time putting together the kind of season Cam Newton just had on the right team, but the Colts have a ty offensive line and a god awful defense right now. He doesn't fit what the Colts try to do on offense at all, and the only real benefit is they'd get some rushing yards out of the QB position.

Agree with Kirk. Luck put up great numbers without playing in some gimmick offense. He's the most sure thing of a franchise qb since The Sheriff

ESPN pretty much confirming the Colts will burn the No. 1 pick on Luck. I think announcing that this far away from the draft means Peyton will be taking Alex Smith's job when the season is over.
