Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Gordon II: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Colts do not have to explain a thing at the 229th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Foster left real value on the table behind him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 13 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They liked Tyler Warren enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 45. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than Round 3, Pick 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in the 151st overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They barely believed it either: Connor Colby still on the board at No. 189. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the 229th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
