Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B.

The Colts torched the value chart for Joe Milton III, taking him 76 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Thomas Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 26th pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 46 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They paid sticker price for Jaden Hicks in slot 82, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 26 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 117th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 125th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at Round 5, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Harrell well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick 234 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
