Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Layden Robinson in the Round 5 slot, a good 24 spots before the room expected him.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Mitchell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 15th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 14 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Layden Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 191 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Value said wait; Tyler Owens in slot 234 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
