Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureA-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Singleton: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Nicholas Singleton slide 78 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Jefferson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 1 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board had Harold Fannin Jr. higher than the 45th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in slot 48 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jordan James
The board fumbled Jordan James all the way to pick No. 116, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Value said wait; Zane Durant in pick 150 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
They talked themselves into Jared Wilson at the 188th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at No. 232 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
