Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Xavier Thomas selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 46 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Eichenberg at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kalen King
A clean, defensible pick in the 46th pick with a little surplus value in Kalen King. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky Pearsall in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 150th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in slot 193 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in pick No. 232 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
