Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Colts to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Gray makes the weekend a net positive. If Rice pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 15 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in No. 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Jason Marshall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Fair-plus on Luke Lachey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray slipping to slot 236 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
