FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Giddens. Final grade: B+. You could see the war room lean forward. DJ Giddens at Round 7, Pick 16 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The Parrish pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Adding Sauce Gardner by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the 45th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at Round 3, Pick 16 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 117th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Chimere Dike
They barely believed it either: Chimere Dike still on the board at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Akili Arnold
They talked themselves into Akili Arnold at pick 189, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick232
Rnd7
DJ Giddens
Circle this one: DJ Giddens at No. 232 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
