Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 16: the Colts steal Higgins and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Jay Higgins slides to slot 232, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 14th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in pick No. 45, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A slide stopped in No. 80, with Gunnar Helm worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 116th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
