FutureA+
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Smael Mondon Jr. tumbling to the Colts in pick No. 150 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The Cornelius pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Mukuba pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A tidy little value on Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 17, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 58 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 60 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
A wild overpay on Ajani Cornelius in the 70th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A curious use of the 78th overall pick. Wide receiver, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Andrew Mukuba did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in No. 97, and they pounced on premier running back value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in slot 98, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 117 on Azareye'h Thomas, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick150
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
