Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA+
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Joe Milton III, 53 picks early at the 118th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The Travis steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Colts clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 18. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Max Melton
Steal is underselling it; Max Melton at pick No. 134 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 150, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jordan Travis in the 166th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick232 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner at pick No. 232 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
