How Did the Colts’ Moves in Free Agency Change their Draft Strategy?

The Colts entered the offseason with about $80 million in cap space, but they haven’t spent much of it as general manager Chris Ballard hasn’t made a big splash in free agency.

After signing wide receiver Ryan Grant and receiving tight end Eric Ebron, Ballard may be less likely to take a wide receiver high in the draft.

The Colts also signed guard Matt Slauson and re-signed Jack Mewhort, which suggests that guard is not as big of a need as it was entering the offseason. If the Colts take an offensive linemen early on in the draft, it is more likely to be a tackle after those pair of moves in free agency.
