Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA
The Colts won the night they stopped McKinstry from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody took the Colts to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Landing McKinstry that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 46th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in slot 117, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in the 153rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in pick No. 193, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They took Eric Gentry at par in No. 235, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
