Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Colts cashed the board's mistake on Nesbit: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Bryson Nesbit slide 68 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Brailsford left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 15th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Circle this one: Emeka Egbuka at slot 59 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Joshua Gray
They paid sticker price for Joshua Gray in No. 91, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Gentry Williams
A reach on Gentry Williams in pick 111; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bryson Nesbit
The board fumbled Bryson Nesbit all the way to pick No. 123, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
They barely believed it either: Collin Oliver still on the board at Round 5, Pick 15. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
A quiet steal in the 175th overall pick: Akheem Mesidor for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Carson Hinzman
Carson Hinzman in pick 187 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd7 Deshawn Pace
Deshawn Pace in the 207th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
