In the final mock draft from NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, the Indianapolis Colts get their future quarterback in Kentucky’s Will Levis.
With Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud going with the first two picks, respectively, the Colts had their choice between Levis and Florida’s Anthony Richardson.
Jeremiah is buying into the smoke connecting Levis and the Colts.
There’s a lot of smoke connecting Levis to the Colts. They stay patient and get their quarterback.
Jeremiah isn’t the only one buying into the smoke as several analysts predict Levis will be the pick at No. 4 for the Colts. How much we should buy into that smoke isn’t clear, but the Colts are confident the league hasn’t caught onto who they are targeting.
Levis is a polarizing prospect. Some analysts have him as the QB4 while some others have him as the QB2 in this class. It’s impossible to know where the Colts will have him, but we do know Shane Steichen has a track record of success with various archetypes at the game’s most important position.
Levis has a prototypical build with a massive arm and the type of toughness and leadership the Colts will love. He may not be suited best for a vertical passing scheme, but Steichen could get the most out of him.
It’s officially draft day so we’ll finally be able to stop speculating in a little over 12 hours.
