Jalen Travis draft grade

Nate Atkins of the IndyStar gave the pick a B.

“The Colts entered Day 3 with needs at a couple starter spots at weak-side linebacker and right guard. It appears, at least initially, that they went in another direction in the fourth round after trading back 10 spots with the Rams to acquire an additional sixth-round pick.”

Does Jalen Travis fit Colts’ needs?

While the Colts needed a guard, they opted to draft a tackle instead. Jalen Travis will add to Indianapolis’ offensive line depth after allowing center Ryan Kelly and right guard Will Fries to depart in free agency. It could free up Matt Goncalves to move to right guard.
