Coach_Sweat DRAFTING FOR THEColts
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Colts

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-. The Colts torched the value chart for Xavier Thomas, taking him 62 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Getting Pearsall where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick 15 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in No. 82, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117
Rnd4
Ricky Pearsall
They barely believed it either: Ricky Pearsall still on the board at the 117th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at the 193rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235
Rnd7
Blake Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Blake Watson in No. 235. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
