Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Colts won the night they stopped Wiley from sliding. Grade: C+.

The Colts spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jared Wiley, the No. 205 name on the board, in pick 235.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on Troy Franklin that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Troy Franklin in pick 46, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khyree Jackson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 117 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They jumped the gun on Layden Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in pick No. 193; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in Round 7, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
