The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Jasheen Davis went at Round 6, Pick 12, a good 130 picks before the board was ready.

Landing Judkins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 14 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in pick 45 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.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 150, where Jay Higgins graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at slot 187 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Deion Burks
They reached into another round for Deion Burks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
