The Colts turned the phones into found money: A-. The Kain Medrano pick is the one that will follow the Colts into the fall. They took him 81 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Watts steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Adding Justin Strnad by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick53
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in Round 2, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in the 57th pick, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in slot 60, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick64
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They did well to land Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 64, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the 65th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They paid sticker price for Mason Taylor in No. 76, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Fair-plus on Darien Porter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick84
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A conviction pick on Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 20 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 99th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 100 with a little surplus value in Kevin Winston Jr.. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick102
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wilson at slot 102 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in the 104th overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
The board had cheaper options than Jeffrey Bassa at the 108th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Shough in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at pick 159, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
They liked Jack Nelson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 170. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at slot 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201
Rnd6
Thomas Fidone II
A straight-up fair deal on Thomas Fidone II at No. 201, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215
Rnd6
Bilhal Kone
They talked themselves into Bilhal Kone at the 215th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamon Dumas-Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
They reached a country mile for Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 222, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 228th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcus Yarns. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at No. 256 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
