Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts robbed the room for Lee III. Final grade: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, running back and other spots still glaring, the Colts used the 78th overall pick on Will Lee III, a cornerback they were not exactly short of. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Lee III pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keith Abney II. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Will Lee III
A curious use of pick No. 78. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Will Lee III did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in Round 4, Pick 13 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 154 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
No drama and no debate, Tristan Leigh went about where he belonged in the 216th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at pick 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in slot 253 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
