Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Colts reached some 42 spots for Jasheen Davis, and value like that does not grow back. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Milroe pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Colts clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the 32nd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
A quiet steal in pick 49: Kamari Ramsey for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64 Rnd2 Domani Jackson
Fair-plus on Domani Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at No. 80 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson is a better player than slot 116 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
A reach for Jake Briningstool in pick No. 133; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They paid sticker price for Tez Johnson in Round 5, Pick 14, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They liked Jeffrey Bassa enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 193. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at the 232nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
