That's actually not true. WR in R2 and R3 is actually the best value. PFF had a stat for drafts after 2015 and the drop off in R2 and R3 producing starters was the smallest at WR than in any other position. It was something like:
WR:
R1: 60%
R2 and R3: 50%
In comparison for EDGE the stats were something along the lines of:
R1:60%
R2:25%
So ... purely analytically, the Colts did the right thing if you believe in the player you took... which I personally love Latu so no objections on my end. And usually day 2 is golden for WRs compared to other position.
I’ve been saying and I am going to stick to it I don’t think the Colts are planning to move on from MAC. They clearly like him a lot more than fans do.
