Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Colts lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Colts did not so much draft Cody Simon as overpay for him, 49 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sturdivant. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Domani Jackson
A reach on Domani Jackson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They talked themselves into Tyler Warren at Round 3, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jalen Catalon
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Catalon a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Phil Mafah
Nice patience on Phil Mafah, who had no business lasting to pick No. 152. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
They will replay J.Michael Sturdivant at the 193rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick 232 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
