Crazy Jim Irsay wasn’t bluffing when he tweeted that the “trade winds were blowing” in Indianapolis.
Indy will send their 2013 second-round draft pick and a conditional late-round pick to Miami for former first-round draft pick CB Vontae Davis.
The Colts needed help in their secondary and if you watched one episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks”, you got the idea that Davis was on the trading block. Miami hasn’t been happy with his conditioning and that he takes plays off. Miami’s new head coach Joe Philbin has been getting on him a lot.
The Colts needed helped in their secondary, but their second-round pick will most likely be in the low-30’s. Davis has a couple years left on his deal, so he fits the mold with the Colts current youth movement.
Will he improve the Colts secondary? Yes.
Will he turn the Colts into a playoff team? Nope.
