Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Rosengarten. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Roger Rosengarten, the No. 200 name on the board, stolen at slot 235. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Gore Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in No. 46, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in pick 82; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at the 117th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at Round 6, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
The board fumbled Roger Rosengarten all the way to slot 235, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
