Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Colts lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Theo Johnson at the 118th overall pick regardless, 34 picks early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Terrion Arnold that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 15 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 84 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in No. 100 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 118th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
No edge and no loss on McCallan Castles in Round 5, Pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A premium they did not need to pay, JD Bertrand a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
