Good, bad, ugly from Colts' picks in computer-simulated mock draft

Taking an early round WR does seem to be in play: The WR3 role is up for grabs, and the Colts had Brazzell in for a pre-draft visit. He would add another big play threat to the offense.

The trade: If anything, the Colts seem more likely to trade down in this year's draft to accumulate draft picks -- not give them away. Indianapolis is already short on capital with only seven picks in total, and there are still a number of needs to address. That becomes difficult to do with only five selections. Not to mention that this trade was made for a backup player.

What about linebacker? The biggest need on the roster wasn't touched in this mock draft. There is hardly any experience at this position group as currently constructed.
