Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Colts spent real capital to be 40 picks early on DeMonte Capehart, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

They banked enough surplus on Nubin to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A quiet steal in No. 46: Tyler Nubin for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A tidy little value on Christian Mahogany in pick No. 82, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the 85th overall pick leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the 117th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 153 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick 193 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in No. 235, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
