Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

There is reaching, and then there is Tanner McLachlan at the 235th overall pick. The Colts jumped the board by 26 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in pick No. 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Fair-plus on Cooper Beebe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick153 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They went early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 153, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanner McLachlan well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
