Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B+.

The Colts torched the value chart for Evan Anderson, taking him 48 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Braswell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding Shaq Thompson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slid further than he should have, and No. 33 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
You do not let an edge rusher like Chris Braswell reach pick No. 82 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, James Williams a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 15 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at pick No. 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
