Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Johnson: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cornelius Johnson got past him. The Colts do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Worthy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 15 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Worthy a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Corum at the 82nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter slipping to pick No. 117 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ro Torrence at the 191st overall pick is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 7, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
