Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Colts torched the value chart for Christian Jones, taking him 73 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That Kinchens pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A safety of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They did well to land Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 18, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Good price on Marist Liufau in No. 90, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A wild overpay on Christian Jones in the 117th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Erick All
A premium they did not need to pay, Erick All a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in the 235th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
