Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The Jasheen Davis pick is the one that will follow the Colts into the fall. They took him 118 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Sanders pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Starks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 12 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 2, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 77th pick on Malaki Starks, a safety they were not short of.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 152 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
A real head-scratcher, Jasheen Davis in pick No. 189 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in pick No. 227 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
