Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody had Brian Ugwu this high, and it is not close. The Colts reached 56 spots to get him at the 235th pick.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Carson at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Nothing to complain about; Rome Odunze went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in the 46th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Caelen Carson, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 117th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at pick No. 235 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
