Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The Colts let Tuten fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to slot 221, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Riley has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in No. 34 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick 45, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in slot 80 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Howard
They read the board right and Will Howard was the payoff at the 116th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quincy Riley this early at Round 5, Pick 13. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick191 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens is a better player than the 191st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach pick No. 221 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 234 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
