Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 79th pick lands the Colts a B, Burke and all.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Denzel Burke fell into the 79th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Foreman left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 15 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 47 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in Round 3, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in the 152nd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Korey Foreman
They reached a country mile for Korey Foreman at the 193rd pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Storm Duck
No edge and no loss on Storm Duck in slot 236; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
