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. Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 213th pick is 37 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Thomas Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 83rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beau Brade
The board had cheaper options than Beau Brade at Round 4, Pick 17, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They reached into another round for Layden Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick No. 154 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 213 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
