Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Colts never got to the one that mattered most.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Reaching for Kiser left real value on the table behind him. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Warren. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They let Malaki Starks come to them and pounced at the 45th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in the 80th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 15: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 151 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They went early on Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
