Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

The Colts bet big and early on Trey Zuhn III, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Heidenreich at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malachi Lawrence. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slipping to the 113th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Fair-plus on Skyler Gill-Howard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 214, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
They took Jack Kelly at par in Round 7, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Value with a capital V on Eli Heidenreich in pick No. 254, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
