Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The Colts put a flag in the ground for Alfred Collins, 28 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 12 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
No drama and no debate, Oscar Delp went about where he belonged in the 76th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A conviction pick on Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 113 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in pick 140. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd6 Jo'Quavious Marks
They liked Jo'Quavious Marks enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 172. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alfred Collins in the 177th pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They paid a round early for Francisco Mauigoa in the 204th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
