Draft Grade — Colts
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureD
The Colts jumped the board for Robinson and paid for it: F.

The Colts treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 2, Pick 26 on Darius Robinson a full 63 spots early.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marvin Harrison Jr. in Round 1, Pick 4. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
The board had cheaper options than Cole Bishop at pick No. 118, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
No edge and no loss on Marcellas Dial in the 193rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All in the 232nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
