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

The Colts bet big and early on Eyabi Okie-Anoma, 50 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Thomas Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 15th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in slot 82, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in No. 117; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 5, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in the 191st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in Round 7, Pick 14, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
