Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB FutureB
Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 15: the Colts steal Styles and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Sonny Styles sat on the board until the 116th pick, and the Colts did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Lachey left real value on the table behind him. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Colts indulged a want in Styles while a need in wide receiver, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 21 they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 49 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Will Johnson in the 55th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James in slot 80 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 15 on Sonny Styles, a safety they were not short of.
Pick125 Rnd4 Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in No. 125. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A real head-scratcher, Luke Lachey in the 193rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
By-the-book stuff, Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
