There were only two quarterbacks taken in the top five picks of the draft, which wasn’t a great outcome for the Colts, who should be set at that position.
Indianapolis didn’t waste any time in making their selection at number six overall, which suggests that they weren’t listening to many offers to trade down again.
General manager Chris Ballard was outspoken in his love for Quenton Nelson throughout the draft process, and he jumped at the opportunity to pick the best prospect in the class.
There is no such thing as a “safe pick” in the NFL Draft, but Nelson is about as close as it gets.
