Draft Grade — Colts
Overall F
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Nussmeier headlines a F weekend for the Colts.

The Garrett Nussmeier selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A F, plain and simple.

The whole projection now runs through Garrett Nussmeier; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. On value alone, Wheatley makes the weekend a net positive.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with running back still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
Value said wait; Malachi Lawrence in No. 47 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A reach on Ted Hurst in pick No. 78; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
The board fumbled Zakee Wheatley all the way to slot 113, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A wild overpay on Matt Gulbin in the 163rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They will replay Jeff Caldwell at pick 207 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Jatta at pick No. 214, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
