9. We’ve heard a lot about the quality depth of the 2014 draft, which has led some like Vikings general manager Rick Spielman to say he’d love to trade down from No. 8 for additional picks if the right scenario presents itself. But I also thought something Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said was notable: “In my mind, it’s a fantastic top-10 draft. And throughout the first round, there are some marquee players that are going to be the impact-type players in this league for a number of years to come.” So it’s a depth draft with high-end quality at the top. A team like the Indianapolis Colts, which traded away its first- and fourth-round picks in deals for running back Trent Richardson and defensive lineman Montori Hughes last year, is one example of a club whose 2013 impulse buying now seems to be regretful. After their free-agent binge last year, the Colts also are unlikely to receive any compensatory draft picks, giving them just five picks overall.
