Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 235th pick lands the Colts a B-, Stogner and all.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Austin Stogner, the No. 199 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Reaching for Ceaser left real value on the table behind him. 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. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They liked Ja'Lynn Polk enough to skip the value, taking him in the 46th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nelson Ceaser
They reached into another round for Nelson Ceaser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 153 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in pick 193, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
The board fumbled Austin Stogner all the way to pick No. 235, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
