| NFC wrap-ups: East | West | North | South ? AFC: East | West | North | SouthINDIANAPOLIS -- A wrap-up of the Indianapolis Colts' draft. Click here for a full list of the Colts' draftees.[+] EnlargeSty RevereGetty ImagesThe Colts are banking on Donte Moncrief to evolve into a standout wide receiver for seasons to e.Best move: The Colts started to prepare for life after receiver Reggie Wayne when they selected Donte Moncrief out of Mississippi in the third round. He's an all-around receiver who isn't afraid to throw a block if necessary. Moncrief left school early and is still a raw player Authentic Enes Kanter Jersey , but he's not expected to e right in and contribute. It's all about the future with him. The Colts are set at the top three receiver spots with Wayne, T.Y. Hilton and Hakeem Nicks. But Wayne and Nicks will be free agents in 2015. Wayne is closer to retirement than playing another five or six years. There are not many receivers better in the league whom Moncrief can learn from than Wayne.Riskiest move: The Colts went into the draft with question marks at safety. They left the draft with the same question marks. The Colts are looking for a starter to play alongside LaRon Landry after Antoine Bethea signed with San Francisco in March. It hurt the Colts that they did not have a first-round pick, because Northern Illinois' Jimmie Ward was selected by the 49ers at the end of the opening round.

Jkson played at Western Kentucky, where he didn't even make first-team All-Sun Belt Conference. Jkson made the second team after recording 95 tkles last season. The Colts had more pressing needs -- safety -- than adding another linebker to the roster. The Seattle Seahawks selected free safety Eric Pinkins five picks after the Colts in the sixth round. Who knows if Pinkins will pan out, but the Colts could have selected him to see if he has what it takes to play safety in the league. Now the Colts could end up going with guys currently on their roster to pete for the starting job.File it away: Selecting Moncrief means the re for one of the final receiver spots will be petitive beeen Griff Whalen, Da'Rick Rogers and LaVon Brazill. The Colts could end up releasing at least o of them depending on how many receivers they want to keep on the roster next season. The Colts selected Brazill in the sixth round in 2012.
