Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD+ FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Colts: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Carson Steele; the Colts did not wait, grabbing him 24 spots ahead at the 235th pick. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. With tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

If Cooper DeJean and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Mike Sainristil in pick No. 82 leaves tight end and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 113 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 117th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at No. 121 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at No. 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
