Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B+.

The Colts clearly saw something nobody else did in Devin Culp, taking him 51 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

On value alone, McCormick makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
A straight-up fair deal on Nate Wiggins at Round 1, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 46th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the 82nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 117 on Cam Hart, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick151 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Taking Johnny Wilson in slot 151 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick No. 186 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick191 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Circle this one: Mason McCormick at No. 191 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Value said wait; Devin Culp in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach Round 7, Pick 14 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
