Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The phones sank the Colts this weekend: D+.

The Colts looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Dallas Gant at pick No. 234 regardless, 86 picks early.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brock Bowers at slot 15. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick24 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In the 24th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 46th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick47 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
A wild overpay on Devontez Walker in No. 47, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
No drama and no debate, Jaden Hicks went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at Round 5, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
They will replay Dylan Laube at Round 6, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
Value said wait; Dallas Gant in pick No. 234 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
