Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

The Chandler Rivers selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 22 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Simpson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 8 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chandler Rivers
Value said wait; Chandler Rivers in Round 2, Pick 8 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
They reached a country mile for Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine in the 108th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Antonio Kite
They took Antonio Kite at par in pick 147, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick186 Rnd6 James Smith
A straight-up fair deal on James Smith at the 186th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson in No. 221 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 London Humphreys
Quietly one of the better values of the day, London Humphreys at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ty Simpson
Ty Simpson at slot 249 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
