Draft Grade — Colts

The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Colts would have aced it. Maurice Smith at Round 7, Pick 12 is 32 spots clear of where he belonged.

With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Lassiter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
No edge and no loss on Nate Wiggins in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A want over a need in slot 46: Kamari Lassiter adds a cornerback while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick82 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 118. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in No. 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 193rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maurice Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
