Much like Levis, but possibly to a higher degree, Anthony Richardson is a crazy talent. If the Atlanta Falcons were to hit on Richardson then they could be a powerhouse for years.

Steam has been picking up about Richardson being the first-overall pick which is stunning considering his lack of production in college. It speaks to just how polarizing he is.

Trading up seven spots to draft Richardson would be a massive gamble. He has everything you would want in a quarterback, size, speed, arm strength, accuracy, explosiveness in every part of the game, etc. But lacks production and consistency. It would be an exciting but terrifying selection by Terry Fontenot.
