Killian DRAFTING FOR THEColts

Draft Grade — Colts
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-. The Colts bet big and early on Demani Richardson, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
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.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach for Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 46; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 82 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
They jumped the gun on Drake Nugent, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
Demani Richardson
A real head-scratcher, Demani Richardson in pick 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick235
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at No. 235, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
