Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Grant fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Charles Grant sat on the board until pick 152, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Fortune pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 14th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 45th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Arroyo in slot 80. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take O'Donnell Fortune, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Grant
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
They will replay Phil Mafah at pick No. 191 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Brown
They took Sam Brown at par in pick 234, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
