Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C
ValueD NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Colts: C.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Isaac Smith in the 78th pick, a good 93 spots before the room expected him. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Getting Prongos where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Julian Neal
Julian Neal at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaac Smith
They reached into another round for Isaac Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in the 113th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Calhoun
A real head-scratcher, Cam Calhoun in Round 5, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd6 Niki Prongos
Somehow Niki Prongos was still sitting there in pick 216, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ted Hurst
They barely believed it either: Ted Hurst still on the board at slot 230. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dasan McCullough well ahead of where he belonged. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
