Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Colts.

The Colts put a flag in the ground for Evan Anderson, 80 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Mitchell to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 15 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than the Round 2 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They paid sticker price for Marist Liufau in pick 82, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 17 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153 Rnd5 AJ Barner
This one needs a full-page explanation: AJ Barner in pick No. 153, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the 193rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
They liked Chad Lindberg enough to skip the value, taking him in the 235th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
