Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 158th pick lands the Colts a B, Brade and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Beau Brade tumbling to the Colts in Round 5, Pick 22 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Hartman left real value on the table behind him. The Melton pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end and interior defensive lineman still on the board. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 21 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in the 46th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Max Melton
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Max Melton at cornerback with tight end and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Nice patience on Brandon Dorlus, who had no business lasting to pick 93. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime is a better player than Round 4, Pick 17 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 151 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 158th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They took Tahj Washington at par in pick 191, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at pick No. 234, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
