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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Colts took Khyree Jackson a full 23 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Colts indulged a want in Abrams-Draine while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
The board had cheaper options than Troy Franklin at No. 15, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They liked Ja'Lynn Polk enough to skip the value, taking him in the 46th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Value said wait; Khyree Jackson in pick No. 82 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kris Abrams-Draine while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the 153rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at Round 6, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
They went early on Aaron Frost in Round 7, Pick 15, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
