Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
Grand theft in the 173rd overall pick: the Colts steal Smith and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 37 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Colts indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback and interior defensive lineman stayed open. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Wiley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 63 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A tidy little value on Calen Bullock in the 82nd pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 150 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Steal is underselling it; Tykee Smith at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A reach on Jared Wiley in the 187th overall pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
They took Tyrice Knight at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than No. 232 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Cephus. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
No drama and no debate, Marcellas Dial went about where he belonged in slot 257. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
