Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Gordon II: B.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ollie Gordon II fell into slot 234.

The Fortune pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 14 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in No. 45, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 16 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, O'Donnell Fortune adds a cornerback and leaves wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the 152nd overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
They robbed the room for Tyler Shough here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
