Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The Ryan Watts pick is the one that will follow the Colts into the fall. They took him 27 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They liked Xavier Worthy enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in the 82nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at pick 107, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 151 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A real head-scratcher, Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts in the 234th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
