Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 153: the Colts steal Eboigbe and grade out a B.

The board owed the Colts one, and it paid up: Justin Eboigbe, the No. 124 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 17 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 15th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They read the board right and Xavier Legette was the payoff at No. 46. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Fair-plus on Cooper Beebe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Circle this one: Justin Eboigbe at pick 153 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in the 193rd overall pick, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax in Round 7, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
