Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Colts did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Carson Steele went at No. 235, a good 24 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 15 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 46 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 82nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Washington at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 5, Pick 17 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at the 235th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
