Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Colts to leave a draft.

Every board in the league had Green lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 15 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach for Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 2, Pick 14; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at the 82nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A premium they did not need to pay, Tommy Eichenberg a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They jumped the gun on Layden Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They liked Xavier Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 235. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
