Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in the Round 2 slot: the Colts steal Fautanu and grade out a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Colts were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Prince has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 18 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Somehow Troy Fautanu was still sitting there in the 46th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at pick 82 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in pick No. 117 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in the 151st overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 6, Pick 16, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Deantre Prince
A real head-scratcher, Deantre Prince in the 234th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
