Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Colts spent Round 5, Pick 15 on Tanor Bortolini, a name most had 36 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 19 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 46th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick No. 117 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in the 151st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 234 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
