Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Caldwell: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jeff Caldwell, the No. 222 name on the board, stolen at the 253rd pick.

With quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at pick 47 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 113 on Chandler Rivers with quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in slot 154 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Nothing to complain about; Kaelon Black went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Good price on Jalen Huskey in the 230th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
You do not let a wide receiver like Jeff Caldwell reach Round 7, Pick 37 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
