Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Colts did exactly that with Sam Hartman in No. 234.

That Fisher pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
By-the-book stuff, Cade Stover at No. 80 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slid further than he should have, and pick 82 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 115 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 117th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 118 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They took Mason McCormick at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at No. 191 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They liked Edefuan Ulofoshio enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 192. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 234th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
