Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts turned the phones into found money: B.

The Colts treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 5 slot on Christian Jones a full 34 spots early.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and linebacker went begging.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 22 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at No. 50 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 58th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in slot 82 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A conviction pick on Tykee Smith at Round 3, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at quarterback and linebacker sat open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaheim Bell a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Wright at pick No. 153, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A big swing on Christian Jones at the 163rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Value said wait; Jaylen Harrell in the 172nd pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick 193 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zakhari Franklin in slot 235. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
