Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Colts came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Hart pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, tight end and other spots.

Every board in the league had Steele lower, and that gap is the story. The Watson 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
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Good price on Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick46 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in slot 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 57 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They jumped the gun on Zak Zinter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 117th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cam Hart in the Round 4 slot leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in pick No. 153, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick201 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 201st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They paid a round early for Carson Steele in pick 235, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathaniel Watson at slot 244 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
