FutureC-
The Colts turned the phones into found money: B. Nobody else had CJ West anywhere near the 151st overall pick. The Colts did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 15 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In the 24th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in the 49th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick 80 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
CJ West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ West well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 6, Pick 13 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermari Harris in the 232nd pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
