Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The Colts clearly saw something nobody else did in Nathaniel Watson, taking him 42 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. However the rest shakes out, Williams at that price is a win they earned.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 20 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in pick 51, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A curious use of No. 82. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at pick No. 118, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick193 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
They read the board right and Roger Rosengarten was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 22 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at pick 232. It fills a real need, too.
