Great move to take a misunderstood prospect here. The Colts' offense, at the very least, became more dynamic. He has a chance to start as a rookie and push Gardner Minshew II. Indianapolis Colts : Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida - The Colts take a home run swing here with Richardson, but he's not as raw as people might think based on his numbers.

The loss of draft capital is the only thing knocking this grade down from an A+. He's a sure bet to be a star and the Texans have a pick from the Browns to buffer their loss of draft capital. Houston Texans (from Arizona Cardinals ): Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama - Anderson is arguably the best defensive player in the draft, but the Texans gave up a lot of draft capital to move up for his services, including trading their 2024 first-round pick to acquire him. If his performance against Georgia is who he can be moving forward, this is a slam dunk. They kept their draft capital and still ended up with a top-flight quarterback in Stroud. Stroud, QB, Ohio State - The Texans stayed put and made the most logical pick at this point. Carolina could have taken a more risky pick here with real home run potential like Anthony Richardson, but Young has the skills worthy of this spot. What Young lacks in size and physical talent, he more than makes up for in skill.
Carolina Panthers (from Chicago Bears ): Bryce Young, QB, Alabama - The Panthers have their new face of the franchise.
