The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-. There is reaching, and then there is DeMonte Capehart at pick 235. The Colts jumped the board by 40 and dared it to prove them wrong.
The Colts indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick 22 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick46
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in pick No. 46. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 50th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the 82nd pick: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick117
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at slot 117 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
Christian Jones
A big swing on Christian Jones at No. 172, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Kenny Logan Jr.
They jumped the gun on Kenny Logan Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at the 235th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
