Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Darius Robinson, 39 picks early at the 82nd overall pick.

Oladapo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 23 they get a matchup problem out wide, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They took Jonah Elliss at par in pick No. 46, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 27, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in the 82nd pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 DJ James
No drama and no debate, DJ James went about where he belonged in the 111th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid a round early for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
They barely believed it either: Kitan Oladapo still on the board at slot 193. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
