Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Pierce. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Hollin Pierce, slot 152, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Bassa pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 14 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Watts. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 16 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They jumped the gun on Jeffrey Bassa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 191 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A slide stopped in pick No. 234, with Ja'Corey Brooks worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
