Indianapolis Colts former coach predicts Colts will draft Andrew Luck – NFL News
Indianapolis Colts former coach Tony Dungy has predicted that the Colts will likely to draft the Stanford’s Andrew Luck into their side.
Indianapolis Colts are the only winless team in the current season of the National Football League (NFL), the American football's premier league. They are at the bottom of the NFL at 0-10.
According to the draft rules of the NFL, the team at the bottom bids for the leading player from the American football colleges league, while team at the top has choice to draft the least performing player, which is player at the
number 32.  As many as 32 players from colleges are drafted into the NFL’s 32 franchise teams of professional players.
Andrew Luck is being projected to be pick of the 32 players to be drafted by the teams this season. A mock exercise for the drafts has already been started. The players are rated by the opinion makers and game experts during the
mock draft period, which starts every year after the NFL season is half way through.
The Colts former coach said that the Colts were likely to draft the Luck however; they might go for trade for him, particularly if Peyton Manning recovered from the injury and joined the squad.
The rules allow the team to trade the draft pick with any other team. Colts if drafted Andrew Luck and Manning joins them they will have the option to trade Luck with any of the NFL's 32 teams.
"I think they draft (Stanford quarterback) Andrew Luck and then I think they see how Peyton Manning is doing," Dungy told "The Dan Patrick Show." "If Peyton comes back in the fall ... and is healthy, and looks like he wants to
play three or four more years, and has that velocity on the ball, and they get a clean report from the doctors -- then I think you think about trading Andrew Luck. "You get that classic quarterback and then you deal from strength."
The Colts are missing Peyton Manning badly. He is on the sideline because of his neck injury and being ruled out for the whole current regular season of NFL.
Colts still hope that Manning is back to strengthen their squad, which without him is unable to record any win during this season. There is some optimism that his injury might allow him for this season's return. His younger brother
Eli Manning, the New York Jets' quarterback, at least is optimistic that Peyton will be back before end of the current season.
However, the Colts chairman Bill Polian has already started thinking of the options in the post-Manning era, and he said these options were being weighed in consultation with Peyton himself. However, he said that a final decision
will be made only after April next year.
