The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Williams: A-. You build a draft on nights like this. Savion Williams had no business being available in slot 151, and the Colts did the only sane thing and turned in the card. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Nothing to complain about; Malaki Starks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than Round 2, Pick 17, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 91st pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at No. 119 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in slot 125 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in pick No. 151, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 189th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Circle this one: Ajani Cornelius at slot 193 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at pick No. 232 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Somehow Craig Woodson was still sitting there in No. 237, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at pick 242 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
