Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Colts never got to the one that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the Steele reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 15 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They did well to land Tyler Guyton in slot 46, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at No. 82 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Jaylin Simpson. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in pick No. 193. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 15 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
