Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts won the night they stopped Majors from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Majors slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at pick No. 152. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the 77th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the 113th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 152 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
You do not let a safety like Jalen Catalon reach pick No. 189 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They barely believed it either: Jaishawn Barham still on the board at pick 227. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
