Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let King fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kobe King had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Colts did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 45th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 80 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 117 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kobe King
They robbed the room for Kobe King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Fair-plus on Dont'e Thornton Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
By-the-book stuff, Jermari Harris at the 232nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
