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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Jack Nelson slide 48 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Sheppard has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at slot 49 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick No. 80 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at pick 116 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Somehow Jack Nelson was still sitting there in the 152nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at Round 6, Pick 18 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at the 232nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
