According to a CBS Sports panel, former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is almost certainly a top 10 lock in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Many folks think the Indianapolis Colts will take Levis with pick No. 4. Some reports suggest that the Colts value Levis more than Anthony Richardson because Levis is more likely to come in and play immediately.
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports says Levis deserves more love:
Will Levis deserves more love (and Will Anderson Jr. deserves less)
Will Anderson Jr. is overrated. He’s a good player, but he isn’t Von Miller or Derrick Thomas. He doesn’t have the same suddenness of those guys. He was dominated by Darnell Wright of Tennessee, which is a concern. Will Levis, meanwhile, will be a better pro than people are giving him credit for right now. Ripping him reminds me of the Josh Allen hate before the draft. Levis played with bad players in a terrible system last year and he was hurt, taking injections to play. — Pete Prisco
Brett Anderson says Levis is a near lock to go in the top 10:

What did Will Levis do to be mocked mostly in the top five for three months, then suddenly fall far down the first round in everyone’s latest version? He’s a gamble who may or may not pan out, just like Anthony Richardson, but since he plays QB he’s a gamble worth taking early and I don’t think he’ll get past No. 7. Just because Richardson is rising shouldn’t send Levis plummeting. — Brett Anderson
