Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Colts.

The Colts bet big and early on Javion Cohen, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting James where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 15 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They let Tyler Nubin come to them and pounced at the 46th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James in pick 82 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They talked themselves into Javion Cohen at No. 117, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in the 193rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at the 235th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
