Killian DRAFTING FOR THEColts

The Colts robbed the room for Barton. Final grade: B. The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Lander Barton, the No. 125 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 232 like a gift left on the doorstep.
The Nash pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 14th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 16. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at slot 115. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in pick No. 150, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187
Rnd6
Nick Nash
They talked themselves into Nick Nash at pick 187, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232
Rnd7
Lander Barton
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Lander Barton in the 232nd pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
