Like Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson is leaning into bust territory - Source: Getty
Three picks after Bryce Young, another quarterback came off the board in Anthony Richardson. The Indianapolis Colts were hoping that he would become their new franchise face, but that plan fell apart early on.
He injured his shoulder five games into his rookie season, allowing Gardner Minshew (more on him later) to shockingly almost lead the team to the playoffs and make a Pro Bowl. And now as a sophomore, he has been benched for Joe Flacco after temporarily pulling himself out of the 20-23 loss at the Houston Texans.

So, that is not good. Hence, a bold scenario of Young and Richardson being traded for each other, then made to sit and learn behind veterans before becoming fully "pro-ready"?

If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
