Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Colts bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Colts, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

They are betting Howard proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Starks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a seam-stretching tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in slot 45, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Skattebo at the 116th pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in pick 191 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A conviction pick on Ty Hamilton at No. 234 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
