Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Evans: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Mitchell Evans, the No. 142 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 191.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Adams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 17 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A straight-up fair deal on Aireontae Ersery at No. 45, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A quiet steal in slot 80: Quinshon Judkins for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 81st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at Round 4, Pick 15. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. slipping to the 118th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at pick 191 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They liked Brandon Adams enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 234. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
