Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Colts left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

They are betting Liufau proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 28th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at pick 37, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 60th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 5, Pick 15 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 191 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Bub Means
A reach for Bub Means in slot 234; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
