The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Starks: B. Call it larceny. Malaki Starks sat on the board until the Round 2 slot, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
The Starks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots. The Mike Hughes pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In slot 22 they get an island corner, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In pick 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that.
Pick32
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In No. 32 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Malaki Starks in pick No. 49 leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots for later.
