Draft Grade — Colts

A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Colts get a C+.

The Colts bet big and early on Carson Steele, 92 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The back end got a real overhaul.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at No. 46, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in the 117th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 15, 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 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at pick 234, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
