Draft Grade — Colts

Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Colts a C+, Schwesinger and all.

Somebody in pick No. 116 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Colts sat still while Carson Schwesinger, the No. 83 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They will need Morrison to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Hit on Benjamin Morrison and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 14th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 45 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A straight-up fair deal on Mason Taylor at slot 80, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the 152nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
No drama and no debate, Luke Elzinga went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Nice patience on Trevor Etienne, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 16. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
