Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Colts turned the phones into found money: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jeff Sims in No. 254, a good 198 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Harvey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick82 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Trigg well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in No. 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They went early on Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 4, Pick 13, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
The board had cheaper options than Kaleb Elarms-Orr at slot 156, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Nice patience on Kage Casey, who had no business lasting to the 163rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in pick No. 214 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in No. 234 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
They will replay DJ Harvey at pick No. 249 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jeff Sims
Jeff Sims at Round 7, Pick 38 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
