Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Colts never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Landing Rakestraw Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 28th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 46: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick 82 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid a round early for James Williams in Round 4, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 153 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in No. 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
