Adam0831 DRAFTING FOR THEColts
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Colts
Overall

ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Julian Neal in the 50th pick, a good 26 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Lawson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Julian Neal
Value said wait; Julian Neal in the 50th overall pick says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jack Endries
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 18, with Jack Endries worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in No. 157 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Barion Brown
A conviction pick on Barion Brown at the 216th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234
Rnd7
Peyton Bowen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Peyton Bowen in pick 234. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251
Rnd7
PJ Williams
They took PJ Williams at par in the 251st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
