Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B.

Some picks age like wine; Cody Schrader at slot 151 will need to, sitting 61 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in slot 117, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
They talked themselves into Cody Schrader at pick 151, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 191 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at slot 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
