Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Colts let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Raheim Sanders fell into pick No. 230. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They are betting Beck proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 19th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in Round 2, Pick 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick52 Rnd2 Carson Beck
They reached into another round for Carson Beck, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 114 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 189 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
You do not let a tight end like Jake Briningstool reach No. 229 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 230 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
