NFL Draft wrap-up
Posted on April 30th, 2007 in Sports | 1 Comment »
The Colts selections are in! It appears that they are pleased with the results. As a fan though, I have to admit that I’m a bit puzzled. I went into the draft thinking the two spots we needed to fill first were at corner and linebacker because of the loss of Jason David and Cato June. However, we ended up drafting a wide receiver and an offensive lineman first.
I suppose I can understand getting a wide receiver if you think he’s the best player out there, but I don’t understand trading two picks to get into the second round and grab an offensive lineman. A friend of mine explained to me that Tarik Glenn is an Unrestricted Free Agent after this year, which explains the need a little bit more to me, but I am still a bit confused because the move seemed extreme to me. I guess I can’t complain. I mean, we did just win the Superbowl and all.
