Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Colts
Overall

The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Hill Jr.: C+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Hill Jr., the 78th pick, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged.
They are betting James proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Hit on Julian Neal and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Julian Neal
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julian Neal well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78
Rnd3
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 78th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in No. 113 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Nice patience on Domani Jackson, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 16. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216
Rnd6
Hykeem Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Hykeem Williams at pick 216, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at slot 230, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris at pick No. 253 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
