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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Colts never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: tight end settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 16 they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They did well to land T.J. Tampa in the 46th pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper Beebe in the 82nd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid a round early for James Williams in Round 4, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Fair-plus on Jaylin Simpson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in slot 193 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 235 with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
