Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with T.J. Sanders at pick 153, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Burke pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Taking Denzel Burke in Round 3, Pick 15 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Junior Colson this early at pick No. 82. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
A real head-scratcher, T.J. Sanders in the 153rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick No. 193 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at pick 235 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
