Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Ja'Tavion Sanders, the No. 54 name on the board, sitting there at No. 82 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 15 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Steal is underselling it; Troy Franklin at pick 46 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Taking Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 3, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni is a better player than No. 117 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slipping to the 153rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
