Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Sampson: B.

When a board-topper like Dylan Sampson slides to pick No. 115, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Thornton Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at pick 44 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 45th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A slide stopped in slot 82, with Gunnar Helm worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at pick No. 115 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 12, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at No. 232 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
