Grand theft in slot 45: the Colts steal Loveland and grade out a B-.

Somebody in Round 2, Pick 13 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Colts sat still while Colston Loveland, the No. 25 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in No. 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Barrett Carter. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 117th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A slide stopped in pick 151, with Malachi Moore worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
The board had DJ Giddens higher than the 189th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick No. 232 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
