FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-. The Jalen Travis selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 65 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
Landing Henderson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 51 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 52 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They paid sticker price for Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 62, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in No. 66, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at slot 72 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
No edge and no loss on Mason Taylor in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 84 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oluwafemi Oladejo. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A conviction pick on Emery Jones Jr. at the 104th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 105. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
They paid a round early for Jeffrey Bassa in pick 109, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 110th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
They liked Tyler Shough enough to skip the value, taking him in the 128th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129
Rnd4
Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at pick No. 129, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Damien Martinez. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 159 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
They took Jack Nelson at par in the 177th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in slot 180 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick184
Rnd6
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 184 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 6, Pick 31, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thomas Fidone II this early at pick 219. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They paid up for Isaac TeSlaa at slot 220 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in the 222nd pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Crawford at Round 7, Pick 22 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
They jumped the gun on Brandon Adams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in No. 255 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
