The real work happened on the phones. The Colts fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Coker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Asante Samuel Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
