ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Johnson: D.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 13 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Colts sat still while Tez Johnson, the No. 88 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Reaching for Membou left real value on the table behind him.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 14 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 38th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They paid up for Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 45 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard is a better player than Round 4, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 152 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They paid sticker price for Miles Frazier in the 234th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
