Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Steven Parker at pick 193 is 127 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Foster. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jordan James
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan James in pick No. 50. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 3, Pick 16 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to slot 116, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A big swing on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 152, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II is a better player than the 155th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Steven Parker
They reached a country mile for Steven Parker at slot 193, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They reached into another round for De'Corian Clark, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in pick 232 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
