Grand theft in slot 212: the Colts steal Hadden and grade out a A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Kamal Hadden, the No. 169 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 37. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, with Brian Thomas Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 17 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No edge and no loss on Marshawn Kneeland in the 82nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 96 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 151 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader is a better player than slot 191 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They robbed the room for Kamal Hadden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
