Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B to prove it.

The Colts treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 232nd overall pick on Mitchell Evans a full 91 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Majors that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 14th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Somehow Colston Loveland was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Taking Harold Fannin Jr. in pick 86 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 128th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 150 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Value said wait; Nazir Stackhouse in slot 164 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner is a better player than Round 5, Pick 29 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in the 179th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick218 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick No. 218 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick232 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
A real head-scratcher, Mitchell Evans in No. 232 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
