Draft Grade — Colts
Overall

NeedB
TradesF
FutureD+
The Colts overdrafted Hemby and paid the price. Grade: F. Nobody else had Roman Hemby anywhere near pick 176. The Colts did, by 94 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Barton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick40
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at pick 40 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in No. 78 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at Round 4, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in pick No. 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 129th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in Round 5, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150
Rnd5
Zane Durant
They liked Zane Durant enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 150. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rayshaun Benny this early at slot 154. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176
Rnd5
Roman Hemby
A wild overpay on Roman Hemby in the 176th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kamran James
Kamran James at the 216th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221
Rnd7
Lander Barton
They will replay Lander Barton at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick No. 230 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jaquaize Pettaway
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaquaize Pettaway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
