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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tip Reiman, 31 picks early at pick No. 151. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in pick 46, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in pick No. 57, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the 82nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cam Hart
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in slot 101. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
A big swing on Tip Reiman at No. 151, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They paid up for Kendall Milton at slot 191 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
