Colts' win produces mess in identifying No. 1 draft pick

They, Vikings and Rams all possess a shot at getting no. 1 pick within the 2012 National football league Draft.

When the overall game was over, after Colts quarterback Serta Orlovsky's pass arrived in wideout Reggie Wayne's hands with 19 seconds left for any 19-16 conquer the Houston Texans on Thursday, Indiana owner Jim Irsay required to Twitter having a message.

What he stated was meant for his team's fans, however the simple advice he provided may have suited the relaxation from the league's draft-happy following.

"Forget April," Irsay authored. "Benefit from the NOW!"

Irsay is appropriate: The greater anybody ponders the possibility landing spots of 2012's top quarterback prospects -- the greater anybody excessively evaluates an order of April's National football league Draft -- the likelihood of confusion (or disappointment) will reign.

Thursday's turn of occasions, which incorporated greater than a second stunning victory for that Colts, may have changed the National football league future in ways no-one can yet predict.

No more is USC quarterback Matt Barkley on anyone's draft board for 2012, caused by his decision to remain in school another year. No more is Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck's roadmap to National football league fame certain to cut through any sort of city, should he follow-through on his decision to try to get entry in to the 2012 draft.

No more is any premature mock draft worth anything whatsoever.

When the Colts win another straight in a few days -- that one against a similarly battling The city of jacksonville Jaguars team -- they might surrender their No. 1 place within the draft towards the Rams or even the Vikings should either of individuals teams lose all of its latter.

Most worth watching: The Rams take part in the Steelers (10-4) and also the 49ers (11-3), making the chance that St. Louis (a team already having a franchise quarterback in position) could find yourself using the top overall pick. It is a scenario that's noticeably possible -- and something that may lend itself to a variety of draft-daytrading situations.

And also, since Barkley is no more a choice, there might be a significantly greater desire to have a team such as the Whales to unload all of their draft to maneuver up up position.

It is possible the Vikings, who take part in the Redskins (5-9) and also the Bears (7-7) within the final two days, may also find yourself using the top pick, especially since they've got a less strong strength of schedule compared to Rams. That will create a similarly interesting scenario, as Minnesota just devoted a high pick in choosing Christian Ponder twelfth overall within the 2011 draft.

Quite simply, there's no more any good way to predict anything about the top National football league Draft. It's no more worth talking about the Colts' luxurious conundrum of how to deal with the potential of getting both Luck and Peyton Manning on a single roster.

Rather, it's worth simply following the way the season's final two days unfold.

Because of a choice by Barkley along with a win through the Colts, among most intriguing seasons of draft forecasts got much more interesting.
