Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureD+
The Colts landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Colts went off the board in a big way for Tanor Bortolini, 36 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No drama and no debate, Brock Bowers went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in Round 2, Pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 82nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 114 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A conviction pick on Beau Brade at pick No. 117 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at the 151st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They went early on Ryan Flournoy in the 191st overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They reached a country mile for Tyler Owens at No. 234, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
