Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts let Allen fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

When a board-topper like Braelon Allen slides to slot 151, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Fair-plus on Olumuyiwa Fashanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Circle this one: Kamren Kinchens at slot 94 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
A want over a need in the 117th pick: Calen Bullock adds a safety while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick151 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Braelon Allen in Round 5, Pick 15, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 191st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
The board had Jordan Magee higher than No. 234, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
