Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Colts, and a C+ to match.

The Colts went off the board in a big way for Anthony Lucas, 25 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on D'Angelo Ponds that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid sticker price for D'Angelo Ponds in pick 47, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
