The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Mickens: B-. Call it larceny. R.J. Mickens sat on the board until pick No. 232, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice.
The West reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick 14 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 45. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
A clean, defensible pick in slot 81 with a little surplus value in Elijah Arroyo. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to No. 117, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189
Rnd6
CJ West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ West well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
Taking R.J. Mickens in the 232nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
