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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Colts were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Every board in the league had Bishop lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 57th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 82nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They reached into another round for Cole Bishop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at No. 151 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than slot 234 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
