Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts won the night they stopped Schwesinger from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Carson Schwesinger sat on the board until the Round 4 slot, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 14 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 80 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
They barely believed it either: Carson Schwesinger still on the board at the 116th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick191 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at slot 191 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in Round 7, Pick 16 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
