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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Colts spent slot 235 on Tanner McLachlan, a name the board had a full 26 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 17th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 46th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in Round 3, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 117 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid a round early for Layden Robinson in slot 153, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in pick 193, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A big swing on Tanner McLachlan at the 235th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
