Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The Colts spent real capital to be 26 picks early on Javon Solomon, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. The Puni pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Nothing to complain about; Rome Odunze went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 46 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They read the board right and Dominick Puni was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They jumped the gun on Layden Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 193 with a little surplus value in Christian Jones. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at slot 235 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
