Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Colts: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, the Round 4 slot, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Every board in the league had Reiman lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 15th pick they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in pick 46. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to the 82nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They will replay Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 117 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tip Reiman in pick No. 151, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
The board had Cody Schrader higher than Round 6, Pick 16, and the running back fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
The board had cheaper options than Josh Proctor at No. 234, and it noticed. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
