For the first time since 1998, someone other than Bill Polian will be primarily responsible for personnel moves, most specifically the draft, for the Indianapolis Colts.
You know how it went. Out goes Bill Polian, Jim Caldwell, and Peyton Manning. Now in is Ryan Grigson, Chuck Pagano, and Andrew Luck.
