Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA FutureD
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at the 191st overall pick, a reach of 98 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Majors falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Good price on Will Johnson in the 14th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 46 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the 80th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They let Cam Skattebo come to them and pounced at pick 116. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 191st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
