Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Colts bet big and early on Aidan Chiles, 94 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Echoles steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Viliamu-Asa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hit on Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
A curious use of the 38th overall pick. Edge rusher needed the pick; a linebacker in Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Will Echoles
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent the 69th pick on Will Echoles, an interior defensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kade Pieper in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 LJ Martin
The board had cheaper options than LJ Martin at pick 113, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Myles Graham
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 30 on Myles Graham with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick149 Rnd5 Horace Lockett
They reached a country mile for Horace Lockett at slot 149, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick174 Rnd5 Yannick Smith
Value said wait; Yannick Smith in Round 5, Pick 35 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan Faison
Jordan Faison at pick 188 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick220 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
A reach for Benjamin Brahmer in No. 220; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick229 Rnd7 Aidan Chiles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aidan Chiles this early at slot 229. A need, and now a little less of one.
