Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Colts were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They banked enough surplus on Simpson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

If Bortolini pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 22 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 50 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in the 82nd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than the 151st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They paid up for Tanor Bortolini at slot 172 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Nice patience on Ty'Ron Hopper, who had no business lasting to pick 191. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in No. 234 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
