Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The Colts torched the value chart for LaDarius Henderson, taking him 93 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Braswell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 15, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to the 60th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Steal is underselling it; Chris Braswell at slot 82 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They liked Malik Mustapha enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 117. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 28 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Keegan at Round 5, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
The board had cheaper options than Jaheim Bell at pick No. 160, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They talked themselves into LaDarius Henderson at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 234th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
