Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD FutureA
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Colts shredded theirs for Christian Jones. He came off 37 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Nubin pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin is a better player than pick No. 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in No. 82, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommy Eichenberg well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at the 117th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in the 153rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 193 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They went early on Zion Logue in the 224th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at Round 7, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
