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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with J.J. Weaver at pick 234, a reach of 83 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Allen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 15 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 46 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 3, Pick 18 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen is a better player than the 117th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Value with a capital V on Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 151, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at the 230th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the 234th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
