Draft Grade — Colts
Overall

FutureA
The Colts lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story. The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eric Gentry at pick No. 249 regardless, 106 picks early.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Hill Jr. at that price is a win they earned.
Hit on Derrick Moore and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick57
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at slot 57 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Anthony Hill Jr. in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
They did well to land Zakee Wheatley in Round 3, Pick 27, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 93rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
No edge and no loss on Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A clean, defensible pick in pick 100 with a little surplus value in Malik Muhammad. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Fair-plus on Tacario Davis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
They paid sticker price for Jalon Kilgore in the 117th pick, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick120
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
A premium they did not need to pay, Dametrious Crownover a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
They paid up for DeMonte Capehart at slot 121 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance slipping to the 129th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zane Durant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zane Durant well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at the 159th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
A straight-up fair deal on Ted Hurst at pick No. 171, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177
Rnd5
Lander Barton
The board had cheaper options than Lander Barton at pick 177, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192
Rnd6
VJ Payne
By-the-book stuff, VJ Payne at the 192nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 12: Ephesians Prysock for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick199
Rnd6
Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200
Rnd6
Cole Payton
They talked themselves into Cole Payton at No. 200, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at slot 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 218th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in Round 7, Pick 24 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at pick 249, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
DeShon Singleton
DeShon Singleton at the 252nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
