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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamari Lassiter, Round 3, Pick 18, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Every board in the league had Hartman lower, and that gap is the story. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Jared Verse at slot 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They jumped the gun on Xavier Worthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A cornerback of that caliber at the 82nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 151 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the 191st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
