Per ESPN Colts confirm to Andrew Luck he will be number 1 Pick

[The Caretaker]

This will put to rest the voice in the back of my head that kept saying:

"And with the first pick in the NFL Draft. the Indianapolis Colts select, Robert Griffin the Third"

We've fallen in such a deep man crush for this guy that I think we would be somewhat disappointed if we got "stuck with luck".

I can't wait to see Griff hold up the Skins jersey

[RFK Lives]

Yeah, the NFL wants to protect the drama so only the first pick is allowed to negotiate with their presumed team.

Hey, it does allow the masses to flood the NFL shop and Redskins store and start ordering jerseys.

I don't get it. IncarceratedBob didn't tweet this out, how can it be true?

I prefer Incarcerated Scarfaces by Raekwon.

If they sign Luck before the draft, are we "allowed" to start negotiating with Griffin before the draft?

No. Only the team with the number one overall are allowed to start negotiation and sign their pick in advance of the draft. But with the rookie slotting system thats not as big a deal as it used to be - there is not a lot to negotiate in rookie deals now.

How amazing would it be if the Colts didn't put their pick in on time and the Skins were on the clock?

@LL56_httr "Colts organization is saying these things about RG3. Team was scared to take rg3 and went safe with luck. Looks like every chance they got the put griff down to sell the fan base on luck. Covering their ass if it goes wrong."

No. Only the team who has the #1 pick is allowed to sign their pick predraft. The reason this started was so that the team picking first could make sure their guy would be in camp on time. They don't allow other teams to do it because then the first round could be over by the time the draft actually occurs.

EDIT:
And I see in my attempt to be helpful, I was beat by 4 other people. I'm always last to the party.

Or about how he only makes plays with his feet if the "field opens up in front of him" or "he's not as good a thrower as Vick"?

What scouts say that about him? Colts/Eagles message boards?

How would those bad scouting reports cover their ass if it goes wrong? If Griffin lights it up and and Luck sucks, their scouting department will look like idiots...
