Anthony Richardson drafted 4th overall to the Colts

[Egor's Assistant]

Someone posted a video in the box about how AR is likely only a top 20 pick right now. A team will definitely take a 1st round chance on his potential. If he stays and has a great year, he'll likely be a top 5 pick. Is that still on or is he gone gone?

 

[Egor's Assistant]

Unconfirmed rumors and innuendo. It should force him to declare his intentions sooner rather than later.

 

[HauntedGator]

I bet noone else cares as much as he obviously does....

Richardson has cleaned out his UF locker, according to Gator Bait.

I'm sure that we'll hear something soon. Bowl selection is this weekend and some of the projections have UF playing DEC. 17. Whatever his decision it's time to let it out. Pretty big decision. It's not like you're reading a defense. Get on with it.

 

[MatthewM.]

He’s awful

 

[NVGator]

Straw poll… Do we celebrate him if he’s a 1st Round Gator?

Sure. It's not like he stole a laptop or shared CP.

I will. I'm not entirely convinced he'll go in the first round. It's one thing to be erratic. It's another to be erratic and enigmatic. His mental game will be on trial.

So the Black Jeff Driskel goes 1st Round and we celebrate? Notice I capitalized Black.

He’s a bust and will be a Backup for his time.

There's absolutely no question he'll go in the first round. None.

 

[Treebeard]

BTW if AR is leaving I hold no ill will and wish him the best. But if true I say NO WAY to him playing in a meaningless bowl game. Would much rather have Kitna play a game against a D 1 opponent.

Well, that didn't, uh, "age" well...

Would you take him in the 1st?

Not seeing it. All hype, very little results.

Second rounder at best.

Was he frantically cleaning it out?I'm worried might have a problem in our qb room.

 

[gingerlover]

If he’s a first rounder it’s a no brained decision. Coming back only hurts him. Go and start learning from a NFL QB coach. Everyone one of them thinks they can do with him what Johnson has done with Hurts.

 

[soflagator]

Bust

He really isn’t. Once again, he had three total SEC offers and was barely Rivals Top-200. He may have the physical tools, but he was never some can’t miss QB prospect. For that matter, Henderson, Wingo, Dexter and Bowman were all ranked ahead of him. Several true busts there. I think AR just has a ceiling. Hope he can go beyond that at the next level.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

You guys are crazy. I hope like Hell he comes back to Florida for one more much needed year of improvement. He's a fantastic player who is fun to watch. Granted, he wasn't perfect but neither was Napier. This season sucks balls because of the Defense, not because of AR. Bring him back!!!!

 

[Silverback Gator]

I will believe he goes third when i see it? Who has the third pick and who would trade up to get that pick? I think he falls as low as fourth round because he cant read a D and make the throws. Remember the slant against LSU?

There are going to be between 5-10 franchises looking for their future franchise QB. If they have someone for him to sit behind and learn for 1-2 years. Seahawks, Colts, Falcons, Steelers, Redskins, Detroit, Texans, Jets, Saints, Panthers at least will be looking for the next guy. Possibly Denver since the Russel Wilson trade didn't give them what they hoped or even Tennessee since Tannehill is giving them his ceiling.

The point is that NFL GM's and Coaches all think they can fix any talent with potentials problems. More times than not they can't, but if they do they are looked at as geniuses. I see him going anywhere from 10-32 in the first round. At most he will drop to round 2. Most likely what will happen is that someone who picks high trades back into the first round if he's there in the later half of the 1st round.

So, Blackup?
