Draft Grade — Colts
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Colts robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: A-. Thirty-one other rooms let Brashard Smith slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at pick 210. Highway robbery. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
The Truss pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Emmanwori is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Malaki Starks and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A curious use of pick 60. Wide receiver, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Nick Emmanwori did not.
Pick61
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 64 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Darien Porter adds a cornerback and leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick72
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
They read the board right and Alfred Collins was the payoff at the 72nd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
They reached a country mile for Ajani Cornelius at No. 73, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at slot 74 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick102
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 102nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at pick No. 104, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to No. 106, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 108 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
You do not let a tight end like Mason Taylor reach the 117th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 144 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cobee Bryant this early at No. 150. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick153
Rnd5
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at Round 5, Pick 16 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at the 168th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
Value said wait; Xavier Truss in the 206th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210
Rnd6
Brashard Smith
Steal is underselling it; Brashard Smith at pick 210 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Value with a capital V on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 222, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 7, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256
Rnd7
Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins in pick 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
