Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Colts walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They are betting Keegan proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Mustapha value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 15 they get a matchup problem out wide, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They took Jonah Elliss at par in the 46th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Josh Newton
By-the-book stuff, Josh Newton at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Adams went about where he belonged in pick 118. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Mustapha in Round 5, Pick 14. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A tidy little value on Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 193, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at the 232nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
