Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts did enough to get by: C+.

The Colts put a flag in the ground for Dani Dennis-Sutton, 39 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Hill value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Jahdae Barron and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They paid sticker price for Barrett Carter in the 49th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They reached a country mile for Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 80th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A quiet steal in slot 116: Tommi Hill for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Value said wait; Shemar Turner in pick 152 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in pick No. 193, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick232 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
They talked themselves into Oronde Gadsden II at the 232nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
