Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Walker: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalon Walker, No. 62, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They will need TeSlaa to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at No. 62 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Good price on Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 86, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Nice patience on Jalen Milroe, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 7. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lathan Ransom in the 117th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in slot 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 151 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They let Seth McLaughlin come to them and pounced at the 181st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A tidy little value on Connor Colby in No. 189, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in the 214th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
The board had cheaper options than Isaac TeSlaa at slot 232, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
