No. 75 | Anthony Gordon | QB | Washington State
As stated earlier, the Colts need to address the quarterback position. Even with that said, there is a chance that not much is done to the room. However, there is a quarterback prospect who might be a strong fit for Frank Reich’s offense, and the Colts wouldn’t have to pay up for him.
While Jordan Love will get all the rage as the perfect prospect for the Colts-and deservedly so—Gordon shouldn’t be blindly kicked to the side. In his “Finding the right fit” piece for our friends over at Touchdown Wire, Mark Schofield had this to say about the pairing of Gordon and the Colts:
“As Gordon says, every team has a variation of Y-Cross in their playbook. But in Indianapolis, Gordon would get the chance to run the ideal system for him: A West Coast rooted system that plays to his strengths of reading underneath coverages, attacking leverage and getting the ball out quickly.”
If there is one constant in Reich’s offensive scheme, it is the Y-cross. Whether it’s running a Yankee concept with max protect or working a hi-lo read over the middle of the field, the Y-cross is a huge part of Reich’s offense.
Gordon comes from the Air Raid, which is a bit different than what the Colts run, but he could be the quarterback to target if they decide to wait.
