Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Theo Johnson pick is the one that will follow the Colts into the fall. They took him 39 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The final tally is a middling C+.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Torrence.

So much rides on Quinyon Mitchell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 15th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A wild overpay on Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Theo Johnson in No. 82 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 117 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 151; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ro Torrence in the 191st overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick234 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in the 234th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
