Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tanner McLachlan, 32 picks early at Round 7, Pick 15. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 15 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 46th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in the 82nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid a round early for James Williams in No. 117, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in Round 5, Pick 17 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 193 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They talked themselves into Tanner McLachlan at pick 235, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
