ESPN’s Todd McShay released his second official 2023 NFL mock draft Wednesday, and he has Bryce Young headed to the AFC.

McShay has the Indianapolis Colts trading up from No. 4 to No. 1 to select former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.

The Colts became front runners to have a top five pick after losing the last seven games of the season. The Chicago Bears currently have the No. 1 pick, but rumors are they are looking to trade it to accumulate some more draft picks.

Ever since the unexpected retirement of Andrew Luck in August 2019, the Colts have been yearning to have a franchise quarterback. The team has cycled through Jacoby Brissett, Brian Hoyer, Phillip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, and Nick Foles.
