Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the night they stopped Verse from sliding. Grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jared Verse slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at pick No. 46. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Robert Hainsey gives the group a proven body among the projects. They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 26th pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jared Verse
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jared Verse in No. 46, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
The board fumbled Xavier Legette all the way to Round 2, Pick 26, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 82 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in slot 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in pick 126, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in the 153rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A quiet steal in slot 193: Julian Pearl for less than the market said. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at Round 7, Pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
