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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Ollie Gordon II slide 55 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. If Gillotte pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick No. 14 they get a mismatch in the passing game, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 16 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 151st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 189 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in No. 232 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
