Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Colts to a C.

The Colts put a flag in the ground for Ty Hamilton, 51 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Shough falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A tidy bit of business in pick 25, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ty Hamilton
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jeffrey Bassa
A real head-scratcher, Jeffrey Bassa in No. 89 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A big swing on Luke Kandra at Round 4, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in the 151st pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 166 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They read the board right and Jack Nelson was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Value with a capital V on Jordan Hancock in pick 231, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
