Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 193rd overall pick: the Colts steal Williams and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. James Williams tumbling to the Colts in the 193rd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They are betting Omeire proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Colts indulged a want in Hart while a need in tight end and interior defensive lineman stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A quiet steal in slot 46: T.J. Tampa for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Somehow Kris Jenkins was still sitting there in No. 82, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in pick No. 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Cam Hart while clear needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick153 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in Round 5, Pick 17, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 161st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 James Williams
You do not let a safety like James Williams reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 235 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Aaron Frost at Round 7, Pick 21 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
Troy Omeire in pick No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
