Walter Football, who gave the Colts a C plus questioned the Colts choice of Braden Smith based on the fact that the team already had 3 QUALITY GUARDS on the roster.

Rarely have I seen such a display of stupidity. If I assume that one of those quality players is Nelson, that means that the guys at Walter have identified Jack Mewhort and Matt Slauson as viable candidates to man the interior of the Colts OL.

That ignores two facts. Fact A is that Slauson is a 32 year old who's only signed for a single year. Fact B is that Jack Mewhort seems constitutionally unable to remain on the field for more than a few games at a time.

Nelson and Smith's presence on the field will nip the inside blitz in the bud, and allow the team to establish a dominant run game.

I have reservations about the final two picks in the 2nd round...I thought they were both reaches for need. But, there was plenty to like about this draft, and no one in their right mind could grade it anything less than a B.
