Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Colts spent the 151st pick on Frank Gore Jr., a name most had 78 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 24th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 46 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56 Rnd2 Max Melton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Max Melton well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A reach for Gabriel Murphy in the 82nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 87 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They did well to land Cedric Gray in pick No. 117, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in pick 151, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Good price on Cornelius Johnson in the 191st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
The board had Garret Greenfield higher than the 234th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Taking Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick No. 244 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
