Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Christian Jones at No. 153. The Colts jumped the board by 37 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Speights.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Jackson is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kalen King
They did well to land Kalen King in Round 2, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 56. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 82 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A curious use of the 87th pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 117, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 153rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in No. 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Somehow Omar Speights was still sitting there in pick No. 235, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
