Draft Grade — Colts

The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: B.

When a board-topper like Nicholas Singleton slides to the 188th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Warren. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 80th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at pick 116 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 150 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at Round 6, Pick 13. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick No. 228 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
