Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureD
The Colts won the night they stopped Giddens from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched DJ Giddens slide 67 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 14 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 45 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick46 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick 46, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They robbed the room for Dylan Sampson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 117 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A cornerback of that caliber at the 189th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 232nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
