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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Colts would have aced it. Layden Robinson at Round 5, Pick 15 is 24 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in slot 46, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at the 82nd pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick 151 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at No. 191 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 234 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
