Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Colts get a C+.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Colts never got to the one that mattered most. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Lawson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
They took Chandler Rivers at par in pick No. 80, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
