Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Christian Jones; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 37 spots ahead at the 153rd pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Proctor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 15 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in slot 46, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick No. 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drake Nugent. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at the 153rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 193 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick235 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Demani Richardson. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
