Rating scales are subjective. We don't know for sure all that goes into it and it is often in the eye of the beholder.
That being said.....in the Next Gen NFL stats on the league's page, our draft picks ranked:
Bernhard Raimann graded as the #5 offensive tackle with the 4 graded above him all being drafted in the 1st round.
Nick Cross graded as the #5 safety with the 4 graded above him all being drafted in the 1st and 2nd rounds (2 in 1st, 2 in 2nd)
Jelani Woods graded as the #7 tight end. 3 graded above him have not been drafted and the other three were picked in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.
Alec Pierce graded as the #15 wide receiver which is ironic as he was our highest pick. I know his athletic ability is not nearly as high as many on the list above him. I just have to hope that his football smarts set him apart. The Colts obviously liked him.
I LOVE the positions the Colts drafted. I really like the profiles/bios/backgrounds of the players they picked. I hope it translates into excellent play on the field.
