Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

Nobody else had Darius Robinson anywhere near No. 87. The Colts did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 46th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They took Ja'Tavion Sanders at par in pick 56, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in pick No. 82, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A big swing on Darius Robinson at No. 87, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at pick No. 118, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They went early on Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at Round 6, Pick 18. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
