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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Daequan Hardy at pick No. 234 is 42 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 15 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
No drama and no debate, Malachi Corley went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
The board had cheaper options than Isaac Guerendo at the 117th pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Kitan Oladapo, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Fair-plus on Mason McCormick, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid sticker price for Curtis Jacobs in slot 191, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They talked themselves into Daequan Hardy at pick 234, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Aaron Casey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aaron Casey this early at Round 7, Pick 35. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
