Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

When a board-topper like Tyrone Tracy Jr. slides to pick 176, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Allen lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 15th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 46th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the 126th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The board fumbled Tyrone Tracy Jr. all the way to pick No. 176, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 40. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Eric Watts
A clean, defensible pick in pick 234 with a little surplus value in Eric Watts. It fills a real need, too.
