Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

Nobody else had Brant Kuithe anywhere near the 129th overall pick. The Colts did, by 52 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That James pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at slot 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 80th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at No. 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
They barely believed it either: Jaxson Dart still on the board at the 152nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan James
Somehow Jordan James was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
A big swing on Jeffrey Bassa at No. 193, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
The board fumbled Aubrey Burks all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
