Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Colts, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Fairchild to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The Mickens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 17 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 13: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They reached a country mile for Dylan Fairchild at slot 81, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
A reach for Aeneas Peebles in the 133rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A tidy little value on Trevor Etienne in the 151st pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley slipping to pick 189 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Steal is underselling it; R.J. Mickens at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 251, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
