Age is an issue, but he has far less time at the position than Stroud. A polished Levis is just in a different stratosphere than what Stroud can become
Why would a gm say that? It sounds kinda desperate. Now the bears are going to ask for even more picks. I think Ballard is trying to bait the Texans into trading up for a qb.
Which is why I think you stay put. Colts could trade up to 1, but they could also trade one spot instead to 3 to secure there qb, while also saving a few assets in the process. Not sure any qb in this draft class separates themselves enough to give a draft haul for 1, could be wrong but will see.
