Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Stover fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Cade Stover, the No. 94 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 153rd overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 15th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They barely believed it either: Kamari Lassiter still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at slot 82 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at pick 117 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A TE-EDGE of that caliber at pick No. 153 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick193 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at the 235th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
