Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Colts would have aced it. Christian Jones at No. 153 is 44 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thomas Jr.. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Good price on Terrion Arnold in pick No. 23, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 46 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in No. 59. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 82nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A curious use of the 85th pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They liked James Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 17. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
They paid sticker price for Austin Stogner in slot 193, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A tidy little value on Zakhari Franklin in Round 7, Pick 15, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A straight-up fair deal on Demani Richardson at pick 239, value and slot in agreement. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
