Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Colts.

Nobody else had Mitchell Melton anywhere near pick 230. The Colts did, by 178 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Hill Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. slipping to slot 47 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Jacas well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
No drama and no debate, Tacario Davis went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in No. 154 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at the 216th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton in Round 7, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 CJ Donaldson
They talked themselves into CJ Donaldson at Round 7, Pick 37, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
