Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Colts clearly saw something nobody else did in Theo Johnson, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Tampa is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

The Travis value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and interior defensive lineman to take T.J. Tampa, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 46 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Value said wait; Theo Johnson in the 82nd pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 117 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They paid sticker price for Sione Vaki in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
You do not let a quarterback like Jordan Travis reach the 191st pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
The board had Jordan Magee higher than pick No. 234, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in No. 255 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
