Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Colts lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Colts did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Reaching for Lawrence left real value on the table behind him. Getting King where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in the 47th pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid a round early for Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 80, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
A reach for Bryce Lance in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
A real head-scratcher, Malachi Lawrence in Round 4, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Zane Durant
By-the-book stuff, Zane Durant at pick 154 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 193rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ethan O'Connor
A conviction pick on Ethan O'Connor at No. 216 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick230 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
No edge and no loss on Roderick Kearney in slot 230; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
A tidy little value on Rueben Owens II in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Will Kacmarek at pick 252. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Haynes King
They let Haynes King come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 37. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
