Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Green fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Taylen Green, the No. 186 name on the board, sitting there at slot 216 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. is a better player than pick 47 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore slid further than he should have, and No. 78 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They will replay Ja'Kobi Lane at the 113th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Max Llewellyn
Value with a capital V on Max Llewellyn in slot 154, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They robbed the room for Taylen Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Nice patience on Jimmy Rolder, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey at Round 7, Pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
