Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Castro fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Sebastian Castro, the No. 80 name on the board, sitting there at Round 4, Pick 12 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Nesbit to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kelvin Banks Jr. at slot 12 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
The board had cheaper options than Kaimon Rucker at the 76th pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
The board fumbled Sebastian Castro all the way to pick No. 108, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
They reached a country mile for Bryson Nesbit at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd6 Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks in the 172nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 204 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
