Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Khordae Sydnor at Round 7, Pick 12 regardless, 84 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Landing Stackhouse that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the 12th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Watts at No. 44, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
By-the-book stuff, Josh Simmons at pick 76 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Value with a capital V on Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Will Sheppard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Sheppard well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd6 Zach Rice
A conviction pick on Zach Rice at pick No. 172 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
Value said wait; Khordae Sydnor in slot 204 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
