Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but LaJohntay Wester at No. 191 is 37 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron

By-the-book stuff, Jahdae Barron at the 14th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.

Pick45 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.

They paid up for Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 45th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.

Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor

Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick116 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune

They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots to take O'Donnell Fortune, a cornerback that was not the priority.

Pick152 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders

Raheim Sanders at slot 152 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
