Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA FutureB
Larceny in the 232nd pick lands the Colts a B+, Moss and all.

When a board-topper like Le'Veon Moss slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Harris reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 22 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Harold Fannin Jr. at the Round 2 slot is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at pick 55. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
A conviction pick on Jermari Harris at Round 3, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the 115th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the 130th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 179 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at the 187th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at Round 7, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Taking Le'Veon Moss in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
