Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Colts to a D-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jake Briningstool at slot 50. The Colts jumped the board by 82 and dared it to prove them wrong. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Landing Stutsman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In No. 11 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick25 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jake Briningstool
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Briningstool this early at pick 50. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to pick No. 117, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
A reach for Tonka Hemingway in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in Round 6, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Antario Brown
They talked themselves into Antario Brown at the 227th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
