Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureC+
The Colts let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Colts walked out of the weekend still thin at wide receiver, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B.

On value alone, Starks makes the weekend a net positive. They will need Wilson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They took Chris Paul Jr. at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 3, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
