Draft Grade — Colts

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jowon Briggs pick is the one that will follow the Colts into the fall. They took him 35 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 15th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They did well to land Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid a round early for Brenden Rice in the 82nd pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Jones at slot 117 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A reach for Jaheim Bell in No. 151; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Nugent this early at pick 191. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A big swing on Jowon Briggs at pick No. 234, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
