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

Nobody had Jaheim Bell this high, and it is not close. The Colts reached 47 spots to get him at pick No. 117.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Fiske at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at slot 34, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Adonai Mitchell still on the board at pick No. 53. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 82 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 103rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaheim Bell this early at slot 117. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
They talked themselves into Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 120, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Cowing went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slid further than he should have, and the 191st overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at No. 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
