Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 187th overall pick: the Colts steal Neal and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Devin Neal at slot 187 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Hamilton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham slipping to pick No. 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 53 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in Round 3, Pick 16, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba is a better player than pick 84 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They talked themselves into Ty Hamilton at slot 150, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to the 187th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 232nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
