Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how LaDarius Henderson got past him. The Colts do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 193. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Milton III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Value with a capital V on Tyler Nubin in the 46th overall pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick52 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Taking Troy Franklin in pick No. 52 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 18 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
They robbed the room for Bucky Irving here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at the 153rd pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
The board fumbled LaDarius Henderson all the way to No. 193, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in slot 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
The board had Darius Muasau higher than pick No. 235, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
