Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Colts a B-.

The Jared Wiley selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 50 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 27th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A straight-up fair deal on Kamari Lassiter at the 35th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 14, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They read the board right and Xavier Legette was the payoff at pick No. 82. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in slot 150, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 161 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
By-the-book stuff, Daequan Hardy at No. 193 squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick232 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 12 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
