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

Thirty-one other rooms let Jalon Walker slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at pick 45. Highway robbery.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 80 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in No. 117, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 151st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They paid sticker price for Upton Stout in slot 189, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bilhal Kone. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
