Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Deontae Lawson at pick 150 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Brosmer reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 12 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 46 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Xavier Watts at safety with wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick113 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 113 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Seth McLaughlin this early at the 188th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
They reached into another round for Max Brosmer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
