Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Stutsman: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 91 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 150th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 13th pick they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and pick No. 46 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in the 83rd overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in slot 113 leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick120 Rnd4 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in Round 4, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They paid sticker price for Zane Durant in No. 152, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Donovan Jackson
Taking Donovan Jackson in No. 195 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
The board fumbled Brant Kuithe all the way to slot 227, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
