Twitter reaction to Colts' selection of Anthony Richardson
The Indianapolis Colts selected Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 pick in Thursday night's NFL Draft.
He was the third quarterback selected, behind Bryce Young (No. 1 to Carolina) and C.J. Stroud (No. 2 to Houston).
The Colts have been trying to get off a years-long quarterback carousel. They signed Gardner Minshew in the offseason before picking Richardson.
Will Levis of Kentucky was also on the board for the Colts, but they went with the less-experienced player perceived to have a higher ceiling.
Say what?!: AFC South rival Texans pick twice before Colts get to choose at No. 4
Reaction to Colts picking Anthony Richardson
Steichen's a key piece of this. The adaptability on offense. He'll build the offense around Richardson's strengths.

Per @AlbertBreer, the #Colts take QB-Anthony Richardson (Florida) at No. 4.
Oozing talent. Relying on Shane Steichen to develop that accuracy.

There's the Colts' big gamble on Anthony Richardson. Ceiling is the top of the Empire State Building ... if he can get there, and how long will that take?
