Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB+
The Colts won the night they stopped Evans from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mitchell Evans, the 191st pick, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged.

The Porter pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 25th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in No. 45 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Harold Fannin Jr.. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Darien Porter while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Nothing to complain about; Devin Neal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Somehow Ozzy Trapilo was still sitting there in pick 116, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 152 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
A tight end of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at pick No. 234 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
