Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Dial fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in pick 232 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Colts sat still while Marcellas Dial, the No. 194 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The cost of the Ulofoshio reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 15 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in slot 118, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 150th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in Round 6, Pick 18 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial in pick No. 232 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
