Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Height: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Romello Height, pick 253, roughly 204 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Hilton Jr. left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 David Bailey
David Bailey in pick No. 47 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at Round 3, Pick 14 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 113 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Colton Hood
The board fumbled Colton Hood all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Circle this one: Akheem Mesidor at the 216th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Chris Hilton Jr.
Chris Hilton Jr. at the 230th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Romello Height
They robbed the room for Romello Height here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
