Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB+
Hardy should have been long gone. The Colts pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Daequan Hardy slide, and the Colts were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 32. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Ugwu pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 18th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
The board had cheaper options than Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 47, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in slot 82, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyrice Knight. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A real head-scratcher, Jaheim Bell in the 116th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 118 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They jumped the gun on Christian Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu in the 193rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in pick 232 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
You do not let a cornerback like Daequan Hardy reach No. 252 and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
