More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trace Ford at pick 80, a reach of 413 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The Golden steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 14th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at slot 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Trace Ford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trace Ford this early at pick No. 80. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
They paid a round early for Cobee Bryant in pick 117, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151
Rnd5
Shilo Sanders
They talked themselves into Shilo Sanders at the 151st pick, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick189
Rnd6
Malik Verdon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malik Verdon. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick232
Rnd7
RJ Oben
RJ Oben at pick 232 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
