Grand theft in the 235th pick: the Colts steal Jordan and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. Jawhar Jordan sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 15th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at No. 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 82, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 17 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Josh Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Steal is underselling it; Jawhar Jordan at the 235th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
