Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

The Colts spent real capital to be 52 picks early on Daijun Edwards, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Ford value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No edge and no loss on Brock Bowers in the 5th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in pick 46; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A conviction pick on Cam Hart at pick No. 83 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 118 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in Round 5, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153 Rnd5 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards in No. 153 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 193, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Steal is underselling it; Jaylan Ford at slot 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They paid a round early for Evan Williams in No. 232, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
