Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Colts turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Colts spent real capital to be 83 picks early on Decamerion Richardson, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
No drama and no debate, Terrion Arnold went about where he belonged in pick 17. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick46 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Nice patience on Ja'Lynn Polk, who had no business lasting to slot 82. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 96th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in Round 4, Pick 17 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They took Jalyx Hunt at par in pick No. 151, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in the 191st pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in pick 234 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
Value said wait; Decamerion Richardson in the 235th overall pick says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
