Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Colts let Barner fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. AJ Barner at the 232nd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Allen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 15 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Malachi Corley. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
By-the-book stuff, Justin Eboigbe at the 118th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A premium they did not need to pay, Braelon Allen a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
A quiet steal in No. 193: Roger Rosengarten for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 AJ Barner
Circle this one: AJ Barner at the 232nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
