Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Colts chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 79 on Caelen Carson with quarterback, running back and other spots still wide open.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barton. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the 15th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 47th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 15. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in Caelen Carson did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Graham Barton
A quiet steal in pick 115: Graham Barton for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 152 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at slot 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
