Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Matthew Jones; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 37 spots ahead at pick 234.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They paid sticker price for Dallas Turner in the 15th overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in slot 82 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 17; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 191st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick No. 234. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
