Shane Steichen has suggested the Indianapolis Colts are more preoccupied with the upcoming NFL draft than a potential pursuit of Lamar Jackson.

"We're focused on the draft and I'm focused on the guys that are in the building right now," said the first-year head coach, whose team kicked off its offseason program this week. "That's where we're at."

The Colts have the fourth overall pick, putting them in position to select one of the top quarterbacks.

Jim Irsay recently said he was opposed to yielding the two first-round picks it would take to acquire Jackson if the Colts signed him to an offer sheet that the Baltimore Ravens opted not to match. Those picks, Irsay said, "are like gold."

"Our belief, and my belief, has always been you build through the draft, the draft is your pipeline for success or failure," Irsay said. "That is where it's at."
