Draft Grade — Colts
Overall F
ValueF NeedC+ TradesF FutureD
The Colts reached for Hairston and never recovered. Grade: F.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Maxwell Hairston went at the Round 1 slot, a good 72 picks before the board was ready. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Campbell. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Maxwell Hairston
In the 1st overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 80 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A tidy bit of business in No. 117, where Tez Johnson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A straight-up fair deal on Andres Borregales at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick No. 189 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A real head-scratcher, Logan Parr in Round 7, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
