Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 232: the Colts steal Bassa and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Jeffrey Bassa sat on the board until slot 232, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A slide stopped in pick No. 45, with Harold Fannin Jr. worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at slot 80 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at No. 116. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 150th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 188th pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in pick 232, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
