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 Tanner McLachlan, 26 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. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 15th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 46 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Fair-plus on Cooper Beebe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, James Williams a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 153 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 193 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanner McLachlan this early at the 235th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
