Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 234: the Colts steal Wiley and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Colts watched Jared Wiley slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Reaching for Bortolini left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 15 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid up for Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 14 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 82nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in No. 117 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They robbed the room for Jared Wiley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
