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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Behren Morton; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 72 spots ahead at the 249th overall pick.

Landing Stukes that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Value with a capital V on Brandon Cisse in the 48th pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A wild overpay on Dani Dennis-Sutton in pick 63, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A straight-up fair deal on Deontae Lawson at slot 78, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at Round 4, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Nice patience on Bud Clark, who had no business lasting to No. 122. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Value said wait; Nadame Tucker in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ Daniels in slot 148. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Nothing to complain about; Demond Claiborne went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 210 is lovely value for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in Round 6, Pick 33 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Landon Robinson
No drama and no debate, Landon Robinson went about where he belonged in the 217th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Behren Morton
They reached into another round for Behren Morton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dasan McCullough well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
