An elite pass rusher is still likely a need, but the Colts will have 3 picks in the Top 64, and likely at least 2 in the Top 50 to get that player in 2019. To me, it's a fact that the Colts will be a better team moving forward as a result of that trade. I'd listen to a counterargument, but I don't think a cogent one can be made.

As soon as Elway signed Keenum, it became a real possibility he would NOT take a qb.
