Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Jared Wilson, the No. 107 name on the board, sitting there at pick 140 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They are betting Tuten proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A clean, defensible pick in the 45th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jihaad Campbell. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A straight-up fair deal on Mason Taylor at pick 80, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 116, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They robbed the room for Quincy Riley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
A big swing on Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 234, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
