Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Lee III. Final grade: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Colts chose the head-scratcher, spending pick 78 on Will Lee III with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Lee III to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at pick 47 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Will Lee III
A want over a need in No. 78: Will Lee III adds a cornerback while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at slot 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at Round 5, Pick 16 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A tidy little value on De'Zhaun Stribling in the 216th pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at the 230th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Nothing to complain about; Tosh Baker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
