Indianapolis Colts President Bill Polian likes what he sees in the 2010 Draft.
With the draft nearly two months away, and with the Colts holding the No. 31 overall selection in the first round, Polian said he agrees with many analysts and observers that this year’s draft is among the deepest in recent memory.
And he said that could be positive for the Colts.
“The depth throughout is something that we haven’t seen in quite some time,” Polian said in an NFL Network interview with former NFL General Manager Charley Casserly at the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium this past weekend.
“It’s not very deep at quarterback, but virtually every other position there is lots and lots of talent. You’re going to have a good choice in virtually every round, I think. That’s all to the good, obviously. We’re drafting 31st. We’d like a good player to be there, and I think that will be the case.”
Polian said he believes that will mean some potential at the skill positions late in the first round.
“I look at it through a different perspective,” Polian said. “It’s so strong in defensive linemen and so strong in offensive linemen that what you’re going to find at the end of the first round are skill players – receivers, corners, running backs that you never expected would be there.”
