Draft Grade — Colts

ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 13: the Colts steal Sanders and grade out a D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Colts shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Bassa lower, and that gap is the story.

However the rest shakes out, Sanders at that price is a win they earned.

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 plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 38th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
No drama and no debate, Xavier Watts went about where he belonged in slot 45. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 81 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A reach on Jeffrey Bassa in pick 116; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in pick No. 191, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 CJ West
Somehow CJ West was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
