In an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, NFL insider Peter Schrager said the Indianapolis Colts could be active in moving up for a top wide receiver in the 2024 NFL draft. "I think there's a chance the Colts move up for Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, or Rome Odunze," Schrager said. He believes the Cardinals will pick Harrison Jr. if they don't trade down from the No. 4 pick, but he could be in play for the Colts otherwise. While Indianapolis already has stud wideout Michael Pittman Jr. on the roster, they are lacking a true No. 2 wide receiver and need to surround sophomore quarterback Anthony Richardson with high-end weapons. Ultimately, the Colts are likely not a great landing spot for a top receiver because Pittman is already there, Richardson's rushing skill set limits the passing volume, and the team is incentivized to use Jonathan Taylor after extending his contract last year. However, it would be a big boost for Richardson, who has top-five QB upside in 2024.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller

I've heard these rumblings but not sure if it is smart for Indy to pay up what it takes to get into the top 10? So many teams wanting to move up for QBs or WRs. This draft could be lit.

Honestly I would like to see Indy just stay put and draft Pearsall maybe in the 2nd round. Pair him back up with ARich. I think they have other needs than to move up to WR in the top 10. this seems like a classic owner move wanting his guy rather than doing the smart thing and building the rest of the team and not pay up for a top 10 pick.

2024 Pre-NFL Draft Rookie WR Dynasty Rankings

Now Scott Barrett's take on the WRs:

after the Big-3, I’m not seeing any WRs with real WR1-upside. I’m just seeing a whole lot of landing spot-dependent WR2s and WR3s. [...] the class looks massively overrated from an analytics perspective.

1. Marvin Harrison Jr.
2. Malik Nabers
3. Rome Odunze
4. Brian Thomas Jr.
5. Ladd McConkey
6. Troy Franklin

Why would they take Pearsall in the 2nd, they already have Downs. If they stay put at 15 I can see Bowers dropping to them and I would like that. They haven't had an impact TE since Dallas Clark.

Much appreciated the info! Love it!

But I cannot access the link, but any reason AD Mitchell is so low? I was under the impression he was 5-7 range with McConkey & Franklin.
What am I missing? The Diabetes or behavior impact?

Thanks for the additional insight. I know his "athletics" did not show in his performance numbers, but was that scheme or his lack of effort (or "heart for the game")?
I have mixed feelings on him. If Buffalo tags him late 1st, does he vault into Top 8 WR?

If they like Downs so much (I do have him in dynasty) then why pay up for a top 10 pick to get another WR? Pearsall and Downs do things a bit different. Downs can stay in teh slot while Pearsall is on the outside opposite Pittman. Then they can stay at 15 and take a non-WR that helps their team and keep the rest of their picks.

I like Pearsall in the 2nd better than paying up a premium for a top 3 WR.

Some are worried he takes plays off. Some scouts have said he literally is lost on some snaps (ie, the ball is snapped and he doesn't even move). Coaches/GMs might be worried about him not giving it all every play.

I would think it's hard to give it your all on every play, but at least sell the route.

If Nabers starts to fall due to off field concerns (real or imagined) I think Indy moving up with say, Atlanta at #8 would make some sense. Having said that, I think their biggest needs are on defense, and they could have their pick of CB/DL (other than Turner) at that spot.
