Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Johnson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 115 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 12 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick 43 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at slot 79 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the 149th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in No. 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
