Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

Nobody had Cody Schrader this high, and it is not close. The Colts reached 23 spots to get him at pick 151.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 15th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 82, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They paid a round early for Beau Brade in the 117th pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in pick No. 151 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They went early on Jared Wiley in Round 6, Pick 16, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: LaDarius Henderson in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
