Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Brooks fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Brooks slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at the 232nd pick. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Castro is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 14 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 45th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach slot 80 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots to take Sebastian Castro, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 150 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Taking Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
