Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The Colts' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in pick 46, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the 118th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They took Jordan Travis at par in slot 150, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
By-the-book stuff, Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 193rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 KT Leveston
No edge and no loss on KT Leveston in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
