Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureC+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 24 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hart pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A curious use of the 82nd pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Cam Hart did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick No. 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Myles Cole
By-the-book stuff, Myles Cole at pick No. 191 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in Round 7, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
