The existence of a 4th player the Colts rate in the top tier of non QBs made the 6th pick a perfect landing spot on a trade back. The only way Luck factored into it at all is that his arm hadn’t fallen off. Thats the only way the Colts plan for the draft would have changed. I don’t see Brissett factoring in at all. Agree with it or not, Ballard has a long term plan to build the roster. I don’t think the short term QB situation factors in at all.
