Grand theft in the 173rd overall pick: the Colts steal Smith and grade out a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 37 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The Colts indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback and interior defensive lineman stayed open. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Wiley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick46
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 63 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
A tidy little value on Calen Bullock in the 82nd pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick118
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 150 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Steal is underselling it; Tykee Smith at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A reach on Jared Wiley in the 187th overall pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
They took Tyrice Knight at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than No. 232 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Cephus. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
No drama and no debate, Marcellas Dial went about where he belonged in slot 257. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
