Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kitan Oladapo, No. 193, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged.

Reaching for Mitchell left real value on the table behind him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They jumped the gun on Ja'Tavion Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Rod Moore
A tidy little value on Rod Moore in pick 82, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent No. 117 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick153 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid up for Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 153rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Steal is underselling it; Kitan Oladapo at slot 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
