Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Colts got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Frank Crum selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 60 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 15th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 33rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A quiet steal in slot 47: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They paid sticker price for Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick No. 151, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 191st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A big swing on Frank Crum at Round 7, Pick 14, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
