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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Colts started one anyway for Richard Jibunor, 34 picks ahead of schedule.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Colts paired the rookies with proven help, Roquan Smith leading the way.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Fair-plus on Patrick Paul, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 80 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marshawn Kneeland. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Johnny Wilson in slot 97, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reach for Mohamed Kamara in pick 117; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at slot 191 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A real head-scratcher, Richard Jibunor in pick No. 234 is miles ahead of his ranking. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
