What do Colts do McShay's Post-Combine Mock?

ESPN's Todd McShay released his post-NFL Combine mock draft on Tuesday, and he has big things predicted for the Indianapolis Colts.

The more things change, the more they stay the same with the Indianapolis Colts and the NFL Draft.

Jalen Carter gets arrested.

Quarterbacks C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson put on a show at the NFL Combine. 

And NFL Draft analysts are still predicting the Colts to trade up with the Chicago Bears to draft Alabama's Bryce Young.

ESPN's Todd McShay released his post-combine mock draft on Tuesday morning, and despite the flurry of news the last week, he has the Colts still trading up to take Young. 

There are several quarterbacks that could be available at No. 4 including fast-rising Richardson, but McShay believes the Colts will want to get their pick of the litter.

Three of the top QBs worked out at the combine, but Young wasn't one of them. No matter. He's still not only the top quarterback on my board but also the top overall prospect. Young has elite pocket presence and poise, delivering strikes to every level of the field. If the Colts can figure out their offensive line issues, I think this could be a really good fit with first-year coach Shane Steichen. --  Todd McShay, ESPN

Young's official size at the NFL Combine has thrown some doubts into whether or not he'll be the No. 1 overall pick? Those doubts give the Colts leverage as they may be content to pick the quarterback that falls to four.

But if their mind is made up on a specific player, they'll need to move up to No. 1 with the Houston Texans sitting at No. 2 and ready to take a quarterback as well.

And even though Young wasn't participating in on-field drills at the combine, he did have one of the more important numbers of the week: 204. That was his official weight on Saturday morning. He would still be the lightest Round 1 quarterback since at least 2006, as well as one of the shortest passers drafted since the AFL-NFL merger in 1967 at 5-foot-10⅛, but considering the concerns that he'd be down around 190 pounds, this was a big checkpoint for him on the road to potentially becoming the No. 1 pick. -- Todd McShay, ESPN

There will be plenty of posturing over the next six weeks as teams jockey for the best deal they can. The Colts will talk about being content at staying put at No. 4. The Bears will give signals they may not want to trade at all.

Cases will be made for Young, Richardson, Stroud, and Kentucky's Will Levis as the top quarterback.

But in the end, it's time for the Colts to get their quarterback of the future, and if they want a specific guy, they're going to need to move to No. 1.
