The latest ESPN mock draft from Matt Miller has a big QB trade for the No. 1 pick (and it's not the Texans)

0 4

In the latest round of 2023 NFL mock drafts — check out our consensus mock that sums up what experts are projecting these days — everyone points to the Chicago Bears trading out of the No. 1 pick (which is the right move) to a team who needs a quarterback.

Many of those experts — including our Christian D’Andrea in his latest mock draft — have the Houston Texans trading up for Alabama’s Bryce Young.

But ESPN’s Matt Miller has another team going for Young in his latest mock draft: The Indianapolis Colts, who obviously, desperately need a QB, go from No. 4 to 1.

What’s his take? Here you go:

The Colts make an aggressive move here to secure the future of the franchise at quarterback, trading up to No. 1 overall to select Young. Yes, Young will be one of the smallest quarterbacks (6-foot, 194 pounds) drafted in the first round in the modern era, but we can’t ignore that he’s also the best — and most pro-ready — passer in this class. He compiled 79 touchdown passes over the past two seasons to just 12 interceptions.

Young is a master in the pocket with poise, vision, agility and a sixth sense that reminds me of Joe Burrow. In fact, Burrow would be my comp for Young if the latter was a few inches taller. The Colts are in a true rebuild situation and Young could be the first piece to the puzzle.

There you have it. Be sure to check out our latest mock draft, along with the current draft order.
