Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Colts robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tez Johnson fell into the 146th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They are betting Kiner proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and slot 80 is lovely value for the running back. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in Round 4, Pick 13, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Will Howard
They will replay Will Howard at pick No. 139 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 146th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at pick 151 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at the 159th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick169 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at No. 169. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Nelson at pick 189 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Fair-plus on Donovan Edwards, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
They jumped the gun on Corey Kiner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
