Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Taylor-Demerson: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, the No. 86 name on the board, stolen at slot 117. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Schrader pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 18, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in the 46th overall pick with a little surplus value in Darius Robinson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A big swing on Zak Zinter at pick 82, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in No. 115; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Taking Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 4, Pick 17 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They jumped the gun on Jaheim Bell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
They reached into another round for Cody Schrader, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in slot 191 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
No drama and no debate, Keith Randolph Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A reach for Josh Proctor in slot 234; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
