Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B.

The Colts put a flag in the ground for Gavin Bartholomew, 142 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Walker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Good price on Rome Odunze in Round 1, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Value with a capital V on Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 82nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Austin Booker
They reached a country mile for Austin Booker at No. 118, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They talked themselves into Layden Robinson at the 150th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ethan Driskell in pick No. 193. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
A big swing on Gavin Bartholomew at pick No. 232, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
