Killian DRAFTING FOR THEColts

Draft Grade — Colts

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-. The Barryn Sorrell selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 81 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Sampson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, reach and all.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They reached a country mile for Tate Ratledge at No. 45, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in slot 80 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the 116th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues slipping to the 191st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
