Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureD-
The Colts did enough to get by: C+.

The Colts bet big and early on Jaylon Carlies, 77 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Gould pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Hit on Brock Bowers and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 15: Brock Bowers for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick16 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 16 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at pick 105, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at the 110th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley slipping to pick No. 126 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 151 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the 169th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at the 191st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
