Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Colts. The Bradyn Joiner selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 372 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The Claiborne steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The Darnell Washington deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
A.J. Harris
You do not let a cornerback like A.J. Harris reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96
Rnd3
Shawn Murphy
Shawn Murphy at the 96th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at the 130th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Bradyn Joiner
Bradyn Joiner in Round 4, Pick 32 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at pick No. 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216
Rnd6
Demond Claiborne
Taking Demond Claiborne in slot 216 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 217, where Jaren Kanak graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jerand Bradley
Jerand Bradley at slot 249 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 254 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
