Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Colts won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Colts should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Gray pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 17th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 16 is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Corley in the 82nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick 116 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 117 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ray Davis in pick No. 118. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A tidy little value on Dallin Holker in slot 150, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 152nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick No. 193 is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
The board had cheaper options than Jeremy Flax at slot 232, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
