Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Gabriel is the Colts' new face under center. Grade: C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Colts would have aced it. Dillon Gabriel at the 12th pick is 105 spots clear of where he belonged.

Gadsden II at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. So much rides on Dillon Gabriel that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at Round 1, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 43 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 79 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in slot 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick188 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at the 188th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
