Grades might be useless right after the draft, but it’s still worthwhile to analyze whether the Colts filled their needs and got good value, so here’s the report card:
1st Round - 21st Overall
Kwity Paye - Defensive End - Michigan
So much about draft picks developing is about their team fit and environment and Paye is coming to a system that fits him well (with his hand in the dirt) and has a tremendous environment and talent around him. He doesn’t have to be the hero from day 1 and that’s hugely important because he won’t be a superstar early on.
