7. Anthony Gordon, Washington State

If the Colts wait until after the top six or so quarterbacks are selected, it will be important for them to get their guy, whatever the cost. Next up here is Washington State quarterback Anthony Gordon. Gordon played in Mike Leach’s air raid offense for the Cougars and has the knowledge of the passing game.

When it comes to Gordon as a prospect, there’s plenty to like. Gordon possesses a quick release and a good feel for the game as a passer. He attacks the middle of the field well and throws with good touch down the field. Gordon can be a little reckless at times, as his interception numbers would indicate, but there’s potential to develop into a starter. He would be a good fit with the Colts.

The Colts should be happy with him at 75.

8. James Morgan, FIU

James Morgan probably isn’t a household name yet at the quarterback position, but it’s only a matter of time. Morgan transferred to FIU after three years with Bowling Green. He got the invite to the Shrine Bowl and showcased his skills, throwing for 116 yards and a touchdown in the game.

While he didn’t put up gaudy numbers at FIU, Morgan has some traits to be considered by teams in the draft. He has a good arm and can make throws down the field, along with a good feel of attacking cover two. His poise in the pocket is good as well, and he stands in to take hits.

Indianapolis should consider him in round three or round four.
