Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

The Colts' one glaring miss is running back, a need they left exactly as they found it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will need Murdock to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 47 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
No edge and no loss on Malachi Fields in the 78th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154 Rnd5 Red Murdock
They jumped the gun on Red Murdock, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at the 216th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A straight-up fair deal on Shamar Easter at slot 230, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law in pick 253 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
