Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Colts took Jelani Thurman at Round 7, Pick 4, roughly 124 spots before his name belonged.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Ferrell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Julian Sayin
Julian Sayin at pick 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 PJ Williams
They paid sticker price for PJ Williams in slot 69, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Anthonie Knapp
A straight-up fair deal on Anthonie Knapp at the 79th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omarion Miller
Omarion Miller in pick No. 105 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Amare Ferrell
A tidy bit of business in No. 132, where Amare Ferrell graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaiah Sategna III
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Sategna III went about where he belonged in the 145th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Andrew Sprague
Andrew Sprague at pick 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 AJ Green
They took AJ Green at par in the 220th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jelani Thurman
They reached a country mile for Jelani Thurman at the 225th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Fluff Bothwell
They did well to land Fluff Bothwell in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
