Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Carson Steele anywhere near pick No. 235. The Colts did, by 24 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. It is not that Jones is a bad player; it is that the Colts had louder needs to answer first.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid up for Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 82 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots to take Jarrian Jones, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in pick 193 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached into another round for Carson Steele, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
