The Rams wouldn't take Luck with Bradford there, but they would 100% trade the pick and get a ton for it

Vikings would take him, they aren't dumb, and move Ponder for other draft picks

Also, Peyton Manning will be the starting quarterback if healthy for next season. Jim Irsay confirmed that tonight. It would be great to get Luck and groom him into a starting QB. I want to select Luck but if it was worst case scenario, it wouldn't be so bad if Manning could be healthy for 3-4 more years. Colts defense is the main area of concern and there are some real solid players available if the Colts did not get the #1 pick.
I saw the interview, but you are not going to select Luck and have him on the bench, every NFL writer I have seen has said so. Irsay is never going to put Peyton Manning on the trading block because then he loses all his leverage and it he's not going to throw Manning under the bus on national tv in december

Manning has 3-4 years left I agree but if the Colts take Luck it won't be with them, Luck will be starting next year though with whomever drafts him
