Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Colts, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. L'Jarius Sneed gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Thomas Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Getting Gore Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 15 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 82 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mekhi Wingo in the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 150th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in pick 193; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Nice patience on Frank Gore Jr., who had no business lasting to the 232nd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
