Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Rourke should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B-.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kurtis Rourke fell into No. 233.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 19th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A straight-up fair deal on Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 83, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 121 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
The board had Donovan Edwards higher than the 157th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
By-the-book stuff, Jeffrey Bassa at pick 195 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They robbed the room for Kurtis Rourke here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
