Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Hadden. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kamal Hadden, the No. 168 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 191. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Bishop to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a matchup problem out wide, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 51st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 117 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 151 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They robbed the room for Kamal Hadden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They paid a round early for Logan Lee in pick No. 195, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A straight-up fair deal on Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
