Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Higgins: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jay Higgins got past him. The Colts do not have to explain a thing at the 187th overall pick.

They are betting Stackhouse proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 45th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in the 80th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They went early on Luke Lachey in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
