The Colts land in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody else had Jamaree Caldwell anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Colts did, by 60 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 15 they get a mismatch in the passing game, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at pick No. 46. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 81st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Value with a capital V on Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Value said wait; Connor Colby in Round 5, Pick 13 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Terrance Ferguson this early at No. 190. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 233, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
