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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Quinshon Judkins slide 144 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will need Dart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 13 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Steal is underselling it; Jahdae Barron at the 45th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 114 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at No. 151. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Connor Colby
The board fumbled Connor Colby all the way to Round 6, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 229th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
