Draft Grade — Colts
Overall

FutureB-
The Colts landed square in the muddy middle: C+. Priorities are a choice, and the Colts made a strange one, taking A.J. Harris at cornerback in Round 3, Pick 18 with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots crying out for the pick instead.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Mesidor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harris.
Hit on Colton Hood and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Colton Hood
Colton Hood in slot 49 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82
Rnd3
A.J. Harris
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. A.J. Harris in the 82nd pick leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick117
Rnd4
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 117 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
