I want you, Indianapolis Colts fan, to consider two hypothetical NFL drafts. Actually, they aren’t hypothetical at all, but you can consider them as such for purposes of this little exercise.
These two drafts took place in the same year. The recent past. And they match up well. The two teams had roughly the same amount of draft capital. Team One had picks in each of the first five rounds and then four in round six for a total of nine selections. Team Two had a pick in all seven rounds, with one extra in round four and two extras in round six.
