Draft Grade — Colts

Grand theft in No. 193: the Colts steal Milton III and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Joe Milton III slide 29 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Somehow Brian Thomas Jr. was still sitting there in No. 46, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Corley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 153rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
The board fumbled Joe Milton III all the way to the 193rd pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones slid further than he should have, and slot 235 is lovely value for the cornerback. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
