Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Colts and Edwards: B-.

When a board-topper like Donovan Edwards slides to pick 232, you do not overthink it, and the Colts did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Strong pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 14 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at pick 45 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 80th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Dorian Strong with quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at the 151st overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick No. 232 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
