Draft Grade — Colts
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Colts finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Colts spent their marquee pick on Nico Iamaleava, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
The Thompson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Flores Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Nico Iamaleava
In pick 9 they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Jacas in Round 2, Pick 8 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
Taking Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 83 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Jagusah. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119
Rnd4
Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 158 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jalen Thompson
A big swing on Jalen Thompson at the 186th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu at the 219th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Javien Toviano
Good price on Javien Toviano in Round 7, Pick 5, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick247
Rnd7
Rico Flores Jr.
The board fumbled Rico Flores Jr. all the way to No. 247, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Roderick Robinson II
Roderick Robinson II in slot 249 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
