FutureA+
The Colts bled value on every deal, hence the B-. The Colts clearly saw something nobody else did in Mac McWilliams, taking him 69 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Gordon II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick No. 47 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 54th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick56
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They reached a country mile for Maxwell Hairston at slot 56, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in the 62nd overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
A big swing on Ajani Cornelius at No. 71, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
They took Omarr Norman-Lott at par in pick 73, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andrew Mukuba adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick85
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots to take Denzel Burke, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick90
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 3, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 120 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Nice patience on Jake Majors, who had no business lasting to the 123rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153
Rnd5
Mac McWilliams
They reached into another round for Mac McWilliams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick159
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 159th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 161 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 177 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Reed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at Round 6, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
A straight-up fair deal on Hayden Conner at the 198th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
