    The 2023 draft rankings:
    1. Philadelphia Eagles
    2. Indianapolis Colts


    Favorite pick: Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida

    The Colts and Chris Ballard definitely have a type: big, athletic players with high-end traits (WR Josh Downs must have been a Shane Steichen pick). That focus paid off in this draft class. It started in the first round with Richardson, who brings a level of excitement to an offense that has been stuck on the veteran quarterback carousel. The success likely won’t be immediate, but over time, it will be fun to track his development.

    3. Houston Texans
    4. Seattle Seahawks
    5. Chicago Bears
    6. Green Bay Packers
    7. Pittsburgh Steelers
    8. Buffalo Bills
    9. Detroit Lions
    10. Cleveland Browns

    15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    23. Jacksonville Jaguars

    30. Miami Dolphins

    If they don't rush him to start this year they may get the return they hope for.

    So...are we done talking about AR. Happy for him and his family. They successfully cashed out. That Gator trophy case under his time is bare and thats his legacy. Time to move on!

    Not the first game, maybe later in the season if they have a crappy record. Minshew will be the starter game one.
    He was the backup to Jalen Hurts and knows the new coaches offense already.

    Before the season is up. This is what I am most afraid, too many expectations too soon.

    For sure in every preseason game, and then it's up to AR to get that offense down and memorized.

    I hope he doesn’t start. He isn’t ready. Rodgers sat and he was far more refined. Give the kid time to get his feet under himself.

    I know what you mean, but I have a feeling that is exactly what they plan on doing.

    He needs his legs to be his last option if his career is to last. It’s a great weapon, but use it wisely and make respect it.
