The highest the Colts will be able to reach in draft order is #2. Even if the Colts and Texans are tied at 4 - 12 - 1, the Texans "win" the tiebreaker by virtue of strength of schedule.Rams win. Colts move up to #5. If the Cardinals win, we move up to #4.
Current draft order, before tonight’s game:
1) Texans, definitely taking a QB
2) Bears, definitely not taking a QB
3) Seahawks, maybe take a QB? Do they love Geno?
4) Cardinals, probably not taking a QB, Murray’s under contract
5) Colts
We could get QB2 and not even have to move up. The worry is, will other teams want to jump ahead of us and trade up with the Bears or Seahawks or whoever.
Cards almost did the Colts a solid last night, taking the Bucs to overtime before losing.
