Thirty-one other rooms let Sonny Styles slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at pick No. 214. Highway robbery. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.
They are betting Ott proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick-by-Pick
A real head-scratcher, Julian Neal in pick 47 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Jaydn Ott at Round 3, Pick 14 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
CJ Allen at slot 113 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Quintayvious Hutchins in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Sonny Styles in the 214th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
You do not let a tight end like John Michael Gyllenborg reach No. 249 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They barely believed it either: Jeff Caldwell still on the board at pick No. 254. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
