Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Colts steal McCaffrey and grade out a C+.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Luke McCaffrey, the No. 165 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 193 like a gift left on the doorstep. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Watts pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

If Nate Wiggins and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 46 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in the 82nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They talked themselves into Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in pick No. 126. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Steal is underselling it; Luke McCaffrey at the 193rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They read the board right and Steele Chambers was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 28. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at pick 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
