Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick 116 lands the Colts a B-, Perkins Jr. and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 19 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 15. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In slot 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Domani Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 49th pick on Domani Jackson with quarterback unsolved.
Pick52 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 52nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 16 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They went early on Tez Johnson in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in pick No. 152, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 David Bailey
The board fumbled David Bailey all the way to No. 157, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Nwankpa in slot 193, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 225th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tim Smith
They reached a country mile for Tim Smith at pick No. 232, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
