Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B.

The Colts spent real capital to be 136 picks early on Kyle McCord, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Landing Gordon II that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Starks is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 15 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malaki Starks at safety with wide receiver and edge rusher open.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick No. 88 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 116th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
The board fumbled Rylie Mills all the way to the 152nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 191, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Circle this one: Brant Kuithe at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in slot 239, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
