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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Colts took Jasheen Davis a full 87 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Higgins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 43rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick79 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 79th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach Round 5, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at pick No. 187 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They talked themselves into Jasheen Davis at the 227th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
