Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts let Corley fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Malachi Corley had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 18, and the Colts did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Ulofoshio reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
You do not let a cornerback like Terrion Arnold reach Round 2, Pick 14 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in the 82nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They did well to land Sataoa Laumea in pick 118, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roger Rosengarten in No. 150. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick232 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid up for Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 232nd pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
