Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Bowen should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Peyton Bowen tumbling to the Colts in the 113th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will need Marsh to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
Nick Marsh at Round 2, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 LJ Martin
A big swing on LJ Martin at slot 78, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at the 113th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Blake Frazier
Blake Frazier is a better player than the 154th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
They barely believed it either: Christian Alliegro still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jackson Arnold
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Arnold at pick 230, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trey Leckner
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Leckner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
