Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Miyan Williams had no business being available in the 235th overall pick, and the Colts did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Gray proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A reach on Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 46th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at the 82nd pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 117 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A quiet steal in slot 153: Ben Sinnott for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Somehow Frank Gore Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 193, and they pounced on premier running back value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
