Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedA- TradesD+ FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Colts a B-, Zinter and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Zak Zinter at the 118th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A reach on Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 82nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
A tidy little value on Marshawn Kneeland in No. 108, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 18 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at slot 193 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
