Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B- to prove it.

The Colts clearly saw something nobody else did in Oronde Gadsden II, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Harmon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in Round 2, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than the 80th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
They reached a country mile for Jake Briningstool at No. 116, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
No edge and no loss on Donovan Edwards in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks in slot 193 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in slot 232 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
