FutureA+
A passer of the future in Manning, and a D, for the Colts. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Colts spent the Round 5 slot on Prince Kollie, a name the board had a full 172 spots lower. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Everything downstream of Arch Manning depends on Arch Manning, and the building knows it. The Nelson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman went begging.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Arch Manning
In No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick No. 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick38
Rnd2
Max Klare
Max Klare in slot 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Josh Moten
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 29 on Josh Moten with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick65
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Michael Taaffe in the 65th overall pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick70
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
Somehow Sam Leavitt was still sitting there in pick No. 70, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in No. 72 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Roderick Kearney
They talked themselves into Roderick Kearney at pick 88, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
DJ Campbell
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ Campbell in slot 89, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jordan White
Value said wait; Jordan White in the 91st pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
A wild overpay on Duce Robinson in the 93rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd3
DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. in Round 3, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Carson Beck
Carson Beck in slot 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Isaiah Nwokobia
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Isaiah Nwokobia adds a safety and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick116
Rnd4
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 116 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor slid further than he should have, and the 125th pick is lovely value for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Terrance Carter
Terrance Carter at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Rod Moore
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 129 on Rod Moore, a safety they were not short of.
Pick140
Rnd5
Samuel Omosigho
Taking Samuel Omosigho in Round 5, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick145
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in the 145th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jonah Coleman
They read the board right and Jonah Coleman was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles is a better player than the 157th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163
Rnd5
James Williams
A real head-scratcher, James Williams in pick 163 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164
Rnd5
Prince Kollie
Prince Kollie at No. 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166
Rnd5
Trey Moore
A big swing on Trey Moore at Round 5, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 168 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173
Rnd5
Deion Burks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deion Burks in slot 173. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 179th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick184
Rnd6
Khalil Barnes
The board fumbled Khalil Barnes all the way to Round 6, Pick 8, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Conner Weigman
Steal is underselling it; Conner Weigman at slot 186 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Dominic Zvada
They reached a country mile for Dominic Zvada at No. 187, and the board is aghast. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ricardo Hallman
You do not let a cornerback like Ricardo Hallman reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dijon Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Dijon Johnson at pick 202, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick203
Rnd6
Lawson Luckie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lawson Luckie at the 203rd overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205
Rnd6
Malachi Nelson
They robbed the room for Malachi Nelson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Aidan Chiles
A quarterback of that caliber at the 207th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208
Rnd6
Dante Moore
They will replay Dante Moore at slot 208 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Will Lee III
Will Lee III at the 212th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219
Rnd7
Kevin Jennings
They barely believed it either: Kevin Jennings still on the board at pick No. 219. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Avery Johnson
Circle this one: Avery Johnson at Round 7, Pick 5 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Rico Flores Jr.
Circle this one: Rico Flores Jr. at No. 231 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jalen Hale
They will replay Jalen Hale at the 237th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238
Rnd7
Shamar Porter
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 238 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ethan O'Connor
The board had Ethan O'Connor higher than the Round 7 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick242
Rnd7
Nic Anderson
Nice patience on Nic Anderson, who had no business lasting to the 242nd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Johntay Cook II
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 31, with Johntay Cook II worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Isaiah Augustave
Isaiah Augustave at pick 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Dasan McCullough
Value with a capital V on Dasan McCullough in No. 252, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255
Rnd7
Kamari Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamari Wilson at pick No. 255. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257
Rnd7
TJ Ferguson
They left a pile of value on the table to take TJ Ferguson this early at slot 257. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
