Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jasheen Davis at slot 241 will need to, sitting 39 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Nwankpa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In slot 14 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They will replay Tyleik Williams at the 50th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 16. Quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Maxwell Hairston did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
A reach on Raheim Sanders in pick 116; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J.Michael Sturdivant at the 152nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaeden Roberts in the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 18, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A safety of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jason Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in pick 241 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
