Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Klubnik, and a B, for the Colts.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Colts committed. Cade Klubnik is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

On value alone, Chiles makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
In pick No. 8 they get a franchise quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 2, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 72nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jeremiah Wilson
Jeremiah Wilson at the 108th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 147 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick186 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 Joenel Aguero
They robbed the room for Joenel Aguero here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick247 Rnd7 Aidan Chiles
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Aidan Chiles in No. 247, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
Dante Dowdell is a better player than Round 7, Pick 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
