Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Judkins fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Quinshon Judkins got past him. The Colts do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 11. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the Lee III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A wild overpay on Hollin Pierce in No. 79, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius slid further than he should have, and pick 115 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 149th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the 187th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at slot 227 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
