Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureD
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Tanor Bortolini anywhere near pick 151. The Colts did, by 36 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Vaki. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 5th pick they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They liked Xavier Worthy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 46th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They reached a country mile for Cam Hart at No. 82, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in slot 117, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Taking Sione Vaki in Round 6, Pick 16 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Somehow Ryan Flournoy was still sitting there in the 234th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
