Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Justin Eboigbe; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Justin Eboigbe
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at the 82nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in pick 118; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 150. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 193 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in the 232nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
