Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B+.

The Colts bet big and early on Sam Hartman, 67 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Landing Thomas Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 82 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Somehow Brenden Rice was still sitting there in pick 115, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 117. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They did well to land Justin Eboigbe in No. 151, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 14, where Frank Gore Jr. graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
