Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in slot 153 lands the Colts a D-, Williams and all.

The phones were a trap the Colts kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Lindberg has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 15 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 82 with a little surplus value in Johnny Wilson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A reach on Matt Goncalves in the 97th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
They paid sticker price for Tyrice Knight in Round 4, Pick 17, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
By-the-book stuff, Jaheim Bell at No. 137 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 James Williams
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 153 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in the 163rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They jumped the gun on Gabe Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg at slot 243 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
