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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Evan Anderson, 145 picks early at the 150th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Adding Luke Fortner by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 26 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braden Fiske this early at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky Pearsall at the 57th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at pick 118, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A conviction pick on Beau Brade at pick No. 126 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Evan Anderson
They reached a country mile for Evan Anderson at No. 150, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Somehow Elijah Jones was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
