Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

Nobody had Maason Smith this high, and it is not close. The Colts reached 25 spots to get him at pick No. 82. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than the 46th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the 82nd overall pick leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick116 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They went early on Johnny Wilson in pick No. 116, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A reach on Mason McCormick in pick 150; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They took Curtis Jacobs at par in Round 6, Pick 15, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 234 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
