Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trevor Keegan in pick 193, a good 41 spots before the room expected him.

Polk at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 15th pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Nice patience on Tyler Nubin, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 82, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They will replay Blake Fisher at slot 118 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 150, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Keegan well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
