Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the night they stopped Mitchell from sliding. Grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Colts fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The Mitchell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Bishop pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
The board had Marvin Harrison Jr. higher than No. 16, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Somehow Quinyon Mitchell was still sitting there in slot 46, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 82 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in the 117th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Fair-plus on Mason McCormick, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 6, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Frank Gore Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
