Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Colts won the night they stopped Watson from sliding. Grade: B+.

The Colts ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Getting Watson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 24 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 46 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in slot 84: Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid a round early for Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Value with a capital V on Braelon Allen in the 117th pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Jackson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A quiet steal in pick No. 191: Jordan Jefferson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Steal is underselling it; Nathaniel Watson at pick 234 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
