Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Antario Brown went at the 227th pick, a good 72 picks before the board was ready.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hancock steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They did well to land Mason Graham in pick 16, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at Round 2, Pick 15 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They liked Donovan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 50. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jake Briningstool
They talked themselves into Jake Briningstool at pick No. 81, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in the 114th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 117 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
A reach on Tez Johnson in the 152nd pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Bryson Nesbit for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Antario Brown
A wild overpay on Antario Brown in pick 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
