FutureD
Nobody dealt better than the Colts this weekend: 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 Steele reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in pick 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in the 50th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 82 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 117th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 172nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235
Rnd7
Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick No. 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
