Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Pearsall: B+.

When a board-topper like Ricky Pearsall slides to pick No. 117, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Reaching for Hartman left real value on the table behind him. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Mike Evans gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 26 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 46 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in the 82nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky Pearsall reach the 117th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They did well to land Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 15, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They paid sticker price for Myles Cole in pick No. 191, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in pick 235 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
