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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Colts started one anyway for Tanner McLachlan, 32 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 14. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 82 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, James Williams a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick No. 193 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 235 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
