Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Colts.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Colts never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The McGlothern pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 15th pick they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They took Ja'Lynn Polk at par in Round 2, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Fair-plus on Payton Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 89 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 117. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 126th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Jordan Travis worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 193 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in pick No. 204. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Dwight McGlothern graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
