Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Colts shredded theirs for McKade Mettauer. He came off 35 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A clean, defensible pick in the 22nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Kool-Aid McKinstry. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 82 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 117 leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick153 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in the 153rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 193 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
They left a pile of value on the table to take McKade Mettauer this early at pick 235. A need, and now a little less of one.
