The Rams aren't winning again this year (@Pitt, SF) so the worry for Indy fans is winning again and/or having to trade with the Rams.
The Vikings are more of a question mark.. would they take Luck and dump Ponder? Ponder has very little trade value, the #1 pick gets them back beaucoup.
And finally, as good and NFL ready as Luck is, any team in win now mode would not be wise to mortgage draft picks to get him. If they actually had any draft picks left, a team like Oakland would have been an obvious choice. Miami's QB situation is so dire, I'd say they'd have a decent shot at being a player too.

Oakland just gave up too much for Palmer, so safe to say they're in the "win now" mentality even if they don't have all the pieces yet.
Vikings would have the pick for Luck into the comissioner before 5 seconds ran off the clock if they had the opportunity to draft him. Ponder has lots of trade value, he was just drafted 12th overall...............He's played with crappy receivers and some games without AP so teams are just feasting on him. You can't give up on a kid after a few games when he's clearly not had a lot of help. He's showed some great moments this year and will get better. Lots of teams would give up a pick for him. Especially if they have a QB that Ponder can sit a little more and groom him instead of just throwing him to the wolves like the Vikings did.
Miami, Cleveland and Washington should all be desperate for a QB going into the draft, even though matt moore has played better then decent the last month or so. Tough to say how desperate though and if willing to give up years of picks to St. Louis if they land the #1 spot.
