Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B.

The Colts treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 191st overall pick on Collin Oliver a full 112 spots early.

On value alone, Simon makes the weekend a net positive. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 15 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 47th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 79th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to slot 116, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 JT Tuimoloau
Somehow JT Tuimoloau was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 14, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
They reached a country mile for Collin Oliver at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 231st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
