Grand theft in pick 152: the Colts steal Carter and grade out a D.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Barrett Carter tumbling to the Colts in pick No. 152 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 45th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 80 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Nice patience on Cam Skattebo, who had no business lasting to No. 116. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Nothing to complain about; Connor Colby went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
No edge and no loss on Brant Kuithe in slot 234; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
