Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 46 lands the Colts a B-, Verse and all.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jared Verse fell into pick 46. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Keegan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jared Verse
They barely believed it either: Jared Verse still on the board at pick 46. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick No. 82 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 18 on Kris Abrams-Draine with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick150 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in the 150th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Fair-plus on Javon Baker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevor Keegan. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
