Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The war room fell hard for Nelson Ceaser, and it showed at the 82nd pick: 32 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Green pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 15th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They will replay Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 46 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in pick No. 82 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They read the board right and Matt Goncalves was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at pick 153 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner in Round 6, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Green
They barely believed it either: Jalen Green still on the board at pick 235. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
