Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for McCord: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kyle McCord tumbling to the Colts in No. 233 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Every board in the league had Higgins lower, and that gap is the story.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the 25th overall pick they get a load in the middle, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 52 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at No. 83 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
They liked Derrick Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 121. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Henry Parrish Jr.
A wild overpay on Henry Parrish Jr. in the 157th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick No. 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
