Draft Grade — Colts
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Colts went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Colts started one anyway for Kendall Milton, 166 picks ahead of schedule.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. White at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A tidy little value on Jonah Elliss in pick No. 54, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 63: Brian Thomas Jr. for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 64th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in the 86th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in Round 4, Pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slipping to slot 159 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
They reached a country mile for Miyan Williams at No. 199, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ricky White
Somehow Ricky White was still sitting there in pick No. 200, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at pick 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
