Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jha'Quan Jackson slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at the 234th pick. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They are betting Thrash proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They will replay Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 54th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
They robbed the room for Jermaine Burton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 DJ James
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 82 on DJ James, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick85 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Renardo Green at the Round 3 slot is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A premium they did not need to pay, Jamari Thrash a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They paid sticker price for Dallin Holker in slot 151, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett slipping to No. 191 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
The board fumbled Jha'Quan Jackson all the way to No. 234, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
