The Colts bet big and early on Trey Zuhn III, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Heidenreich at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.15 · Pick 47 · Malachi Lawrence · DE-EDGE · rank 71
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malachi Lawrence. The roster fit checks out.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Jalon Kilgore · CB · rank 100
Jalon Kilgore slipping to the 113th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.16 · Pick 156 · Skyler Gill-Howard · DT · rank 150
Fair-plus on Skyler Gill-Howard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.33 · Pick 214 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 246
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 214, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.33 · Pick 249 · Jack Kelly · LB · rank 256
They took Jack Kelly at par in Round 7, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.38 · Pick 254 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 239
Value with a capital V on Eli Heidenreich in pick No. 254, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
