Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Colts skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

The Heidenreich pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If Fa'amoe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at slot 47 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Taurean York
A clean, defensible pick in the 78th overall pick with a little surplus value in Taurean York. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Good price on Caden Curry in No. 113, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at Round 5, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 216th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in pick 230 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They let Eli Heidenreich come to them and pounced at pick No. 253. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
