Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Colts bet the future on Chambliss. The board says D-.

The Colts torched the value chart for DeSean Bishop, taking him 60 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They have staked the next five years on Trinidad Chambliss, which is the only story that really matters here.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Scott. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Colts indulged a want in Hubbard while a need in tight end and edge rusher stayed open.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Trinidad Chambliss
In slot 22 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton in pick No. 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at pick 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in Round 3, Pick 15 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarion Miller
A conviction pick on Omarion Miller at No. 86 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Justin Scott
Somehow Justin Scott was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Koi Perich
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Koi Perich at the Round 3 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
They liked Whit Weeks enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 116. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
A want over a need in No. 126: Bray Hubbard adds a safety while tight end and edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick132 Rnd4 DeSean Bishop
DeSean Bishop at the 132nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brandon Baker
They read the board right and Brandon Baker was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 35. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Lincoln Kienholz
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Lincoln Kienholz. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jide Abasiri
Jide Abasiri at pick 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
