Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Thrash: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Colts were there to profit. Jamari Thrash, the No. 91 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 118.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Magee to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 15 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 46: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
You do not let a wide receiver like Jamari Thrash reach the 118th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in the 150th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They reached into another round for Jordan Magee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jawhar Jordan in pick 232. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
