Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Colts skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was.

The Henderson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 46 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Jones. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A conviction pick on Jaheim Bell at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Good price on Tanor Bortolini in slot 191, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
