Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on McClellan: B.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Colts to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Gray pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Getting McClellan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in No. 46, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They did well to land Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 58th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They paid sticker price for Mike Sainristil in pick No. 82, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 89 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 153rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in slot 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
