Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Colts for Allen: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Braelon Allen slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at slot 193. Highway robbery.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Nice patience on Brenden Rice, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 18. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick153 Rnd5 Javon Foster
The board fumbled Javon Foster all the way to the 153rd pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
They barely believed it either: Braelon Allen still on the board at pick No. 193. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in slot 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
