Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Nubin: B+.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tyler Nubin fell into the 82nd pick.

They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With quarterback and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 18 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Legette in the 46th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 82 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Max Melton
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Max Melton while clear needs at quarterback and linebacker sat open.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in slot 117, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 5, Pick 13 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at No. 151. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They did well to land Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 234, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
