Draft Grade — Colts
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Colts, and a C+ to match.

Some picks age like wine; Justin Eboigbe at No. 117 will need to, sitting 62 spots clear of his grade.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Tampa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.

Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A curious use of pick No. 46. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in T.J. Tampa did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They talked themselves into Shemar Turner at No. 82, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No edge and no loss on De'Corian Clark in the 193rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slipping to the 235th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
