Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Colts kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Colts treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 235th overall pick on Evan Anderson a full 47 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 16th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Jones at No. 117, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the 151st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They talked themselves into LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 234, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
