Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureD
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Theo Johnson went at the 90th pick, a good 32 picks before the board was ready.

On value alone, Ford makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 22 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at No. 27 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They paid sticker price for Troy Franklin in the 35th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Johnson in pick No. 90, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen is a better player than the 117th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in No. 120 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 151 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Value with a capital V on Mason McCormick in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They talked themselves into Nathaniel Watson at slot 191, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Steal is underselling it; Jaylan Ford at the 234th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
