Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Colts: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Colts did exactly that with Tanner McLachlan in slot 235. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Nubin makes the weekend a net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Nubin at Round 2, Pick 14. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in No. 82. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 117th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 153; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 193 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in Round 7, Pick 15 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
