Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Colts bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Colts clearly saw something nobody else did in Luke Lachey, taking him 42 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
They took Kelvin Banks Jr. at par in pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jabbar Muhammad
Good price on Jabbar Muhammad in the 31st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 63 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
They reached a country mile for Jay Higgins at Round 3, Pick 12, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks at No. 140 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick204 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 204 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
