A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 58 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 40.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Henderson. Justin Strnad gives the group a proven body among the projects.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Watts at slot 51. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick54
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at pick 61 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 63 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at the 65th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They jumped the gun on Shemar Turner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A reach for Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 19; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 84th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in the 102nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 105, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Good price on Jared Wilson in pick 106, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A tidy little value on Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 115, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jonas Sanker
A straight-up fair deal on Jonas Sanker at the 125th pick, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Nice patience on Tyler Shough, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
No edge and no loss on Damien Martinez in pick 154; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 165 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
They paid a round early for Jack Nelson in No. 171, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
This one needs a full-page explanation: R.J. Mickens in the 183rd overall pick, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in slot 217 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 218th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They liked Isaac TeSlaa enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 222. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
A real head-scratcher, Cody Lindenberg in slot 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
They paid up for Thomas Fidone II at the 239th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at Round 7, Pick 24. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
They went early on Marcus Yarns in pick No. 251, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at No. 256, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
