Draft Grade — Colts
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Colts bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Colts did not so much draft Jared Wiley as overpay for him, 81 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at Round 1, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
The board fumbled Keon Coleman all the way to the 82nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 116 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at the 118th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 119 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 5, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A reach for Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
No edge and no loss on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 234th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
