Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Colts turned the phones into found money: B-.

The Colts went off the board in a big way for Tanor Bortolini, 36 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in pick 82; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A conviction pick on Cam Hart at No. 87 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
They talked themselves into Dylan Laube at the 136th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They jumped the gun on Ryan Flournoy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in slot 233, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at Round 7, Pick 14 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
