Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

Nobody had Fentrell Cypress II this high, and it is not close. The Colts reached 43 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 22 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 54th overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at Round 3, Pick 23 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 122nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in slot 159 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They reached into another round for Fentrell Cypress II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
