Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Erick All, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 22 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in the 46th pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 82 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 117 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached into another round for Ty'Ron Hopper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 193rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Erick All
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Erick All. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at slot 235 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
