Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Colts shredded theirs for Evan Anderson. He came off 48 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Vonn Bell deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 18 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 46 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They talked themselves into Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Washington a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A reach on Beaux Limmer in pick No. 117; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid a round early for Jaheim Bell in pick 149, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in No. 151 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick191 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Value said wait; Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 191st overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
