Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Starks: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malaki Starks, Round 2, Pick 17, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trade work was a quiet net positive. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to pick No. 49, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
