Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Colts.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Nick Martin went at No. 108, a good 54 picks before the board was ready. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early.
Pick44 Rnd2 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in slot 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They went early on Luke Kandra in pick 76, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Nick Martin
A real head-scratcher, Nick Martin in the 108th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jermari Harris
They paid a round early for Jermari Harris in pick No. 140, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick172 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyren Lacy well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 204th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
