Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Colts spent real capital to be 165 picks early on Arian Smith, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Bowman Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

It is not that Mukuba is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 22nd pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
No drama and no debate, Tyler Warren went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They jumped the gun on Denzel Burke, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 3, Pick 17 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With quarterback and edge rusher still to address, they spent pick No. 86 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick115 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at slot 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the 150th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They went early on Shemar Turner in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A conviction pick on Ty Hamilton at No. 182 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 187th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Arian Smith
Arian Smith at pick 189 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 195 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nick Nash
They paid up for Nick Nash at slot 232 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 35 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
