Sanders should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Raheim Sanders, the No. 140 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. It is not that Watts is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first. They are betting Wells Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 13 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 45th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 13. Interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Xavier Watts did not.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in No. 114, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 189th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 229 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
