Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Colts got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 120 spots clear of his grade.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in Round 2, Pick 6, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 45 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A clean, defensible pick in the 80th pick with a little surplus value in Elijah Arroyo. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 152nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They talked themselves into Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 191, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They reached into another round for Francisco Mauigoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
