Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Colts to a C+.

The phones were a trap the Colts kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

If Hart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Puni makes the weekend a net positive.

If Rome Odunze and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the 15th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 46th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They jumped the gun on Zak Zinter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at Round 4, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A quiet steal in pick 119: Dominick Puni for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The board had cheaper options than Cam Hart at slot 120, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick153 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
