The trade table was a mismatch, and the Colts were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Taylor at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

It is not that Delane is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
