Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA FutureA
Larceny in pick 150 lands the Colts a B+, Bishop and all.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Colts, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first. The Bishop value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Colts paired the rookies with proven help, Connor McGovern leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 28 they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 60th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in slot 82: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 118th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Circle this one: Cole Bishop at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at pick No. 193 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick198 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 198 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 12 is lovely value for the running back. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
