Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B.

The Colts' one glaring miss is running back, a need they left exactly as they found it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Ulofoshio reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 46th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Hart a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 118, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 5, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
