Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Colts checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Christian Jones selection is the head-turner. The Colts reached 37 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

On value alone, Franklin makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 16 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 46th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid a round early for James Williams in pick 117, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javion Cohen in the 118th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Value said wait; Christian Jones in slot 153 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick No. 193 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 194th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in pick 235 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
