Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: B.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Khyree Jackson, the No. 105 name on the board, sitting there at the 150th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than slot 46, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Circle this one: Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in pick 150, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 193 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
