Draft Grade — Colts

Grand theft in pick 189: the Colts steal Sanders and grade out a B-.

Somebody in No. 189 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Colts sat still while Raheim Sanders, the No. 132 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Roberts pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Colts indulged a want in Starks while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A want over a need in the 46th overall pick: Malaki Starks adds a safety while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 77th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They reached a country mile for Jaeden Roberts at slot 113, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Bear Alexander at Round 5, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick No. 189 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Deion Burks
The board had cheaper options than Deion Burks at pick 227, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
