Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Phillips fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jordan Phillips got past him. The Colts do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 189. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 14th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 80th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Value with a capital V on Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 117, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A tidy little value on Raheim Sanders in slot 151, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 6, Pick 13 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 232 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
