Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Patrick Payton, and it showed at slot 216: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Colts indulged a want in Moore while a need in quarterback, tight end and other spots stayed open. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson is a better player than No. 47 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Devin Moore in pick No. 78 leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cyrus Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Cyrus Allen at the 113th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J'Mari Taylor. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the 216th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
No drama and no debate, Andre Fuller went about where he belonged in pick 230. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick253 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
A big swing on Anez Cooper at slot 253, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
