Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Coleman. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 2 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Milton III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 15 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at the 57th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cade Stover. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at No. 92, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They did well to land Matt Goncalves in slot 117, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Good price on Tykee Smith in the 151st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 16 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
