Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Colts, and a C+ to match.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Colts spent the 118th overall pick on D'Angelo Ponds while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots sat unaddressed. The final tally is a middling C+.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Everette pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Hit on Daylen Everette and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at pick 50 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zion Young
They paid sticker price for Zion Young in slot 82, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with D'Angelo Ponds while clear needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 157th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
