Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Colts this weekend: B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Colts did exactly that with Elijah Simmons in No. 249.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 46 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Tyler Guyton graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 Josh Newton
By-the-book stuff, Josh Newton at pick No. 60 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 18 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sincere Haynesworth
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sincere Haynesworth well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Nice patience on Theo Johnson, who had no business lasting to pick 153. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 18, with Ben Bywater worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
A reach on Sheridan Jones in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick235 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 235, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
Elijah Simmons at the 249th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
