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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Colts took Behren Morton at pick No. 254, roughly 67 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That Douglas pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on cornerback with running back, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They let D'Angelo Ponds come to them and pounced at slot 57. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They reached a country mile for Caden Curry at pick 78, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They did well to land Deontae Lawson in the 89th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, tight end and other spots to take Jalon Kilgore, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at Round 5, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Caleb Douglas
You do not let a wide receiver like Caleb Douglas reach the 195th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric O'Neill in pick 214, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 249, where Latrell McCutchin Sr. graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Behren Morton
A real head-scratcher, Behren Morton in No. 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
