The Indianapolis Colts selected Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson in ESPN's annual NFL Nation reporter mock draft Tuesday.
ESPN's Stephen Holder, who has covered the Colts since 2013, had this to say about the choice.
"The Colts can't come away from this draft without addressing their long-running quarterback need. Picking fourth overall gives them the best opportunity they've had to do that since picking Andrew Luck No. 1 overall in 2012. This choice was difficult. The Colts love Will Levis as well, but the thinking here is they bet on Richardson's rare traits and immense upside -- an approach GM Chris Ballard has emphasized in the past.
