INDIANAPOLIS — While a good deal of attention will understandably be placed on whichever player the Indianapolis Colts select early in the first round of April’s NFL Draft, the team’s Saturday trade with the New York Jets made the second round much, much more enticing.
In exchange for the Colts’ No. 3-overall pick, the Jets sent over the sixth-overall pick in the first round, meaning Indianapolis moved down just three spots. But the Jets also gave the Colts two additional second-round picks in this year’s draft, as well as their second-round pick in next year’s NFL draft.
