You know that saying... The player makes the number, the number doesn't make the player. -

When you do sit back and analyze the draft most of the picks in front of the Colts make sense. 1) Williams. Not a fan of the player but I get it. 2) Daniels- Need a qb and #2 rated qb 3) Maye-I think the Giants and another team wanted him bad but Patriots just decided to get him and not move back. 4)They needed to pair Harrison with the midget and justify that stupid contract they gave Murray. Give Murray the most polished and tallest receiver in the draft lol. 5)Harbaugh loves the trenches and wouldn't pass on Ault. Look at Harbaugh's history in building a team. 6) I think the Giants really wanted Maye and were trying to move up but Patriots were not budging. They picked best player available in Nabors and hoping it will help Jones and it wont. 7) Need to protect Levis as the GM picked him last year and need to see if he is the guy 8)Now this is where it went off the rails and stupidest pick in NFL history I think. I had the best D player going here 9) They wanted to pair the 3rd best wr on their board with Williams and I called it when people said the Colts would trade with the Bears and grab a receiver at #9. I get it but would have picked Murphy as it is a perfect fit for Eberflus' defense. 10) Minny loves McCarthy and moved up one spot to make sure they got him. 11) Picked best OT on the board as they need to protect Rodgers upright as the coach and GM will be gone if they dont make the play offs 12) If he was still there, Nix is a perfect qb for what Sean wants 13)Bowers is elite but luxury pick. I would have went best D player on the board. They drafted a tight end high last year. I thought a dumb pick 14) Saints could have picked best player and they went Oline so cannot fault him 15) Ballard should have bought a lottery ticket the day of the draft because Latu fell into his lap. No need to think it over just turn the card! -
And that is part of my point about how GMs benefit from circumstances and are hindered at other times. Its hard for me to draw a bright line between most of them in terms of being really good or really bad, because the card deck is different each year and can get reshuffled mid draft by some wonky things. No doubt the Colts draft benefited by some talent falling a bit more in both the first and second rounds because of some unexpected things. Those things feel in our favor this year, but may not in other years. I'd hate to be the GM of LVR right now. Although they got Bowers (and I like O'Donnell more than most) he's probably got set back by not having Penix there to draft as projected. -
It probably was close decision in their mind and thus it took until after the draft to make the decision.

Ballard really benefited from Alanta's ability to having no idea on how to build a team. I also thought picking Bowers was not a good decision. They should have went defense and paired Murphy or Latua with Crosby.
