Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Colts this weekend: B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Colts fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The cost of the McLachlan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick 26 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid a round early for T'Vondre Sweat in slot 46, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 58th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in No. 82; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in pick No. 193. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanner McLachlan. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
