A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B-.

The Joe Milton III selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 45 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. That Hardy pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 15 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in pick No. 82. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Christian Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A tidy little value on JD Bertrand in the 193rd pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Steal is underselling it; Daequan Hardy at pick 235 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
