Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Colts would have aced it. Evan Anderson at pick No. 234 is 48 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Polk at that price is a win they earned.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They read the board right and Ja'Lynn Polk was the payoff at No. 82. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade 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.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A reach for Jaheim Bell in the 151st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drake Nugent in slot 191, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in No. 234, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
