Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hollin Pierce; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 20 spots ahead at No. 117. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Rourke pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jihaad Campbell in the 45th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in pick 51, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 80th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 122 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in slot 151 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 189th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board had cheaper options than Jay Higgins at No. 191, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Nice patience on Tahj Brooks, who had no business lasting to pick No. 208. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Corey Brooks at Round 7, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
