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

The Colts went off the board in a big way for Jared Wiley, 50 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Hadden makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 15 they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Devontez Walker a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 82 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 3, Pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 118 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at the 150th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 173 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in slot 213 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Nice patience on Garret Greenfield, who had no business lasting to No. 232. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
