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

The Colts did not so much draft Gabe Vansickle as overpay for him, 255 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Umanmielen steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Hampton at pick No. 38. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jordan Ross
They paid sticker price for Jordan Ross in No. 69, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jacarrius Peak
They let Jacarrius Peak come to them and pounced at pick 79. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Princewill Umanmielen
Circle this one: Princewill Umanmielen at Round 4, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Braden Miller
They reached into another round for Braden Miller, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Anto Saka
They barely believed it either: Anto Saka still on the board at the 145th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at the 174th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tristan Bounds
Tristan Bounds at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Phillip Daniels
Value said wait; Phillip Daniels in Round 7, Pick 4 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Gabe Vansickle
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Vansickle in slot 253, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
