Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Colts a B+.

Nobody had Demani Richardson this high, and it is not close. The Colts reached 52 spots to get him at slot 193.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Trotter Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Zay Jones gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A tidy bit of business in slot 46, where Troy Franklin graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 82 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ainias Smith in the 117th overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Nice patience on Jaylin Simpson, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
They reached a country mile for Demani Richardson at pick 193, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick195 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
A premium they did not need to pay, DeWayne Carter a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Erick All
They jumped the gun on Erick All, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
