Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Colts fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-.

The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Sai'vion Jones at Round 4, Pick 14 regardless, 112 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Judkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 55th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They paid up for Tez Johnson at the 80th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 86 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in No. 150 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 179 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 187th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in slot 218 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
