Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Kaleb Johnson, the No. 51 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 191st pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The McCord pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 15 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in slot 79, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They reached a country mile for Kyle McCord at the 116th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalen Catalon
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 14, where Jalen Catalon graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kaleb Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 191 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. It fills a real need, too.
