00:00 - 20:15 -  John McClain, longtime beat writer for the Houston Texans, joins the show to give a recap of the draft from the perspective of one of the Colts divisional rivals! JMV and John dive into the series of events that led to the Texans needing to find another quarterback, starting with the Deshaun Watson situation. John talks about how there is a different vibe around the team that is much more positive compared to recent years. John also discusses the smokescreen the Texans had up going into the draft, as well as the young crop of QB’s the AFC South now have in it. 

20:16 - 45:31 - John speaks to Mike Chappell of CBS4 and FOX59 about the Colts and the selection of Anthony Richardson. John and Mike discuss how Richardson is truly Shane Steichen’s pick, and how their futures will be tied together. They also get into how soon Richardson should see the field next season, and if anyone in the Colts building had to be talked into selecting him. The Colts always seem comfortable with trading back and getting more picks; John and Mike give their thoughts on that strategy.
