Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jared Wiley at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 76 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Travis value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with wide receiver and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick No. 46 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53 Rnd2 D.J. James
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. D.J. James in the Round 2 slot leaves wide receiver and running back for later.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 117th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 120 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They barely believed it either: Jordan Travis still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Barrett at the 193rd pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the 235th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
