Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hayden Conner; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 33 spots ahead at slot 232. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Green. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 14th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green in pick No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 80th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They took Jeffrey Bassa at par in No. 117, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A reach for Jay Higgins in Round 6, Pick 13; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
