Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Colts bet big and early on Mitchell Melton, 51 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keith Abney II. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Taurean York
A reasonable price with a little left over, Taurean York in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Xavier Scott, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Good price on Sam Roush in No. 154, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They took Fernando Carmona at par in the 216th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230 Rnd7 London Humphreys
London Humphreys in slot 230 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton in the 253rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
