Draft Grade — Colts

FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Colts to a D-. The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Taylen Green went at the 114th overall pick, a good 71 picks before the board was ready.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane slipping to the 36th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40
Rnd2
Zion Young
By-the-book stuff, Zion Young at slot 40 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48
Rnd2
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 78 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Deion Burks
The board had Deion Burks higher than the 119th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick157
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the 157th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington in No. 216 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Zuhn III a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Isaiah Nwokobia
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Nwokobia still on the board at pick No. 253. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
