Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Colts this weekend: B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Colts did exactly that with Barryn Sorrell in the 150th overall pick.

The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 23 they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick No. 80 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 86 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 87th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at Round 4, Pick 14. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 150 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in the 187th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They read the board right and Brant Kuithe was the payoff at No. 232. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
