The Colts turned the phones into found money: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Colts came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Robinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Thomas Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 20th pick they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 46 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 117 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No edge and no loss on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 5, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in No. 193, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 235 with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
