Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THEColts

Good, not great, for the Colts: B-. You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Colts spent the 132nd overall pick on Chris Johnson while quarterback, tight end and other spots sat unaddressed. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in pick 64 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in the 96th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chris Johnson adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick172
Rnd5
Adon Shuler
No drama and no debate, Adon Shuler went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 32. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214
Rnd6
Quinten Joyner
By-the-book stuff, Quinten Joyner at the 214th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Barion Brown
They took Barion Brown at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Coogan at pick No. 249, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
