Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Germie Bernard; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 46 spots ahead at pick 121. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Ratledge pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In pick No. 12 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
They let Kevin Winston Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in the 76th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
A big swing on Germie Bernard at the 121st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 140 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at Round 5, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dorian Strong. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick204 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 204th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick213 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 213 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
