Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Mafah: B.

The Colts did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Phil Mafah fell into No. 227.

The Colts indulged a want in Starks while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 14 on Malaki Starks with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 77th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in slot 113, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 152 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 189th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at pick No. 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
