Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Hall Jr.: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Michael Hall Jr. at slot 118 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 46th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A tidy little value on Malachi Corley in pick No. 82, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Michael Hall Jr. in the 118th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They jumped the gun on Edefuan Ulofoshio, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
They read the board right and Roger Rosengarten was the payoff at pick 193. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Christian Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
