Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Colts fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on cornerback with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Reaching for Nugent left real value on the table behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in pick No. 84. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cam Hart at cornerback with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in No. 151 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in pick 191 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
