If the Indianapolis Colts are going to draft their quarterback of the future in the 2023 NFL draft which prospect would be the best fit in Indy?

Considering where the Indianapolis Colts are likely to land in the draft following the 2022 NFL season, it would be more fruitful to draft an offensive lineman over a quarterback considering you could get one of the top tackles in the draft. That would force Indy to stick with Matt Ryan for another year.

However, it is destined that this is likely going to be the year that the Colts go all-in to get the quarterback of their dreams. It all makes sense considering there will be a new head coach and maybe even a new general manager if Jim Irsay has seen enough.

What would it take for the Colts to get a top-talent quarterback in this year’s draft? It might not take much, considering how many of the teams likely to be in front of the Colts are sitting with their franchise quarterback already on the roster.

Are any quarterbacks off the table in this year’s draft if the Colts decide to go all-in finally? A few drafts ago, we saw the Chicago Bears give up two firsts, a fourth, and a fifth-round pick over two years to move up and select Justin Fields from Ohio State.

That move by the Bears did not seem fruitful at first, but Fields is starting to grow into his position on the Bears and has the chance at being a top-five quarterback in the NFL once the Bears can fill out the team.

Assuming that no quarterback is off limits in this draft, including the two players that will likely go first and second overall, let’s rank which quarterbacks are the best fits for Indianapolis to succeed in the NFL.
