Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B+.

The Colts ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and interior defensive lineman. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 16 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A reach for Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 14; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Corley in pick No. 81. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the 82nd overall pick leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in slot 118. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in the 119th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A straight-up fair deal on Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 150, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick194 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
A slide stopped in the 194th pick, with Isaiah Davis worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan McMahon a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
