1. Indianapolis Colts 

Andrew Luck – QB – Stanford*

It will get ugly this year in Indy without Peyton Manning under center. The Colts, in a position of luxury, have the opportunity to insure their star and groom his eventual replacement. Luck is a remarkably cerebral quarterback who could benefit from learning under an all-time great at the position. 2. Seattle Seahawks

Seattle needs an upgrade at the quarterback position and it may be too tempting to pass here. Landry Jones has all the physical tools and is poised for a huge year, but he must be more consistent to warrant this high selection. 3. Carolina Panthers
