Grand theft in No. 78: the Colts steal Ponds and grade out a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. D'Angelo Ponds, the No. 48 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 78th pick.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ponds pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. If Elliott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in slot 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, D'Angelo Ponds adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick113 Rnd4 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in the 113th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Amare Thomas
Amare Thomas slipping to pick 156 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley at the 214th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at pick No. 249 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Nwokobia at No. 254. It adds depth where they could use a little.
