Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The Colts did not so much draft Anthony Lucas as overpay for him, 25 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Cisse steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The back end got a real overhaul.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A tidy bit of business in pick 47, where Brandon Cisse graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at the 78th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in No. 113 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They paid sticker price for Bryce Boettcher in pick No. 156, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at Round 6, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
Owen Heinecke at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick254 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer is a better player than pick 254 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
