This year’s Colts draft just feels less exciting
Maybe I’m crazy, but this year’s draft feels different for the Colts.
This time last year, the buzz was high. The Indianapolis Colts coveted Tyler Warren, but signs pointed to him being off the board much sooner. Things worked out, and the Colts got their man.
The excitement Warren generated before and during the season was palpable. This year? This year feels totally different.
As we near the draft, excitement will surely increase, but there are too many factors going against the Colts this year to deliver the same level of hype. Let’s start with the obvious. The Colts don’t have a first-round pick.
The biggest names will be gobbled up before they make their first selection which makes it a harder sell for many fans to take interest. Some people will still nerd out and have all seven rounds figured out. That is great because rosters aren’t built solely on first-rounders, but for many, the first round holds a mystique and excitement of which the Colts won’t participate.
