Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesC- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Colts.

The war room fell hard for Ceyair Wright, and it showed at the 249th overall pick: 113 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on A.J. Haulcy that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
By-the-book stuff, A.J. Haulcy at pick 47 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Fair-plus on Malachi Fields, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in the 79th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 113 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take George Gumbs Jr. this early at the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart at pick No. 214 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ceyair Wright
Ceyair Wright at No. 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jack Pyburn
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Pyburn. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
