Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Lachey: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Luke Lachey, the No. 195 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 16. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Bassa has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the 24th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 45 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
No drama and no debate, Cam Skattebo went about where he belonged in slot 97. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They liked Jeffrey Bassa enough to skip the value, taking him in the 117th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in Round 5, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
The board had Cobee Bryant higher than No. 189, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick232 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 232 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
