Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Colts reached some 49 spots for Jared Wiley, and value like that does not grow back.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Tampa pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, running back and other spots. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 14 on T.J. Tampa with wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at pick 118 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at pick No. 150, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in the 193rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 232nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
