Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Colts robbed the room for Moore. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malachi Moore, the No. 95 name on the board, stolen at No. 195. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th pick they get a red-zone target to build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick 49, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Maxwell Hairston in the Round 3 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 124th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at No. 152 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in slot 195, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick201 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Lachey at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Truss in the 220th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at slot 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
