Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts did enough to get by: C+.

The Colts spent real capital to be 51 picks early on Derrick Moore, and the board is going to hold them to it. 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. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at the 47th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Fields at Round 3, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Scott in pick No. 113. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick154 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at No. 154 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at slot 216 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trey Holly
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Holly a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 253rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
