Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Javon Solomon at the 82nd pick. The Colts jumped the board by 35 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 15 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 82 on Javon Solomon with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the 117th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarrian Jones at the 151st pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach pick 191 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in pick 234 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
