Draft Grade — Colts

A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B. The Colts did not so much draft Antwaun Powell-Ryland as overpay for him, 44 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
That Cornelius pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The veteran additions, Jalen Ramsey chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tate Ratledge well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 80 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 119th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Kurtis Rourke for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jay Toia
A reach for Jay Toia in pick No. 189; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
They read the board right and Ajani Cornelius was the payoff at pick No. 193. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
No edge and no loss on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
They talked themselves into CJ Dippre at pick 232, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
