Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joe Milton III at the 162nd pick regardless, 38 picks early.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding Bilal Nichols by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at slot 35, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick 46, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick No. 82 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at the 117th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Value with a capital V on Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 162nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
A wild overpay on Cedric Johnson in pick No. 191, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevin Wallace. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
