Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Neal: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Devin Neal, No. 153, roughly 71 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If Spraggins pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Colts indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in wide receiver, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at pick No. 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach Round 2, Pick 30 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid up for Darien Porter at No. 69 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Maxwell Hairston in the 86th overall pick leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick96 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They robbed the room for Mason Taylor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 129th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 141 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 150th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in pick No. 153 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in No. 159, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 5, Pick 25 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They did well to land Connor Colby in pick No. 178, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 183 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
A tidy bit of business in No. 227, where Terrance Ferguson graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
A real head-scratcher, Javontez Spraggins in the 234th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
