Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Colts: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Colts shredded theirs for Keith Randolph Jr.. He came off 33 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 20th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Good price on Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malik Washington
No drama and no debate, Malik Washington went about where he belonged in No. 113. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 117th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They liked Joe Milton III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 153rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 198 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick 235 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
