Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jaheim Bell at No. 125 regardless, 39 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 26 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Fair-plus on Darius Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Andru Phillips at the 89th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They reached into another round for Jaheim Bell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in No. 151 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 191st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A real head-scratcher, Tyrice Knight in the 234th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
