Draft Grade — Colts

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-. Hard to follow the map here. The Colts bypassed wide receiver, quarterback and other spots to take Julian Neal at the 113th overall pick, a spot they had covered.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson slipping to pick No. 47 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
They paid sticker price for Deontae Lawson in slot 78, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Julian Neal
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 113th overall pick on Julian Neal, a cornerback they were not short of.
