Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Colts, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Colts took Marshawn Kneeland at Round 2, Pick 14, roughly 34 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 25 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
They reached a country mile for Marshawn Kneeland at No. 46, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They talked themselves into Brandon Dorlus at pick 52, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 58th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 18 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They went early on Johnny Wilson in the 117th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the 151st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in Round 6, Pick 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 219. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A conviction pick on Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 234 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
