Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Colts took Nathan Thomas at slot 151, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 15 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A conviction pick on T.J. Tampa at No. 46 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in the 82nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick 151 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ryan Flournoy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at pick No. 234 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
