The Colts are in a no-man land in their draft spot. In 3 of the last 4 years, they have finished just underneath playoff qualification, with 2024 likely being a 3rd finish similar to this.
The Colts need to return to the playoffs, thus a talent infusion in this roster is needed. But to do so, should the Colts chase a potential blue chip prospect at a need position early or should they trade back and address as many positions as possible with as many dart throws to try to raise the overall roster talent level?
Trade Up Scenario
Colts Give Up:
- Round 1, 14th Overall Pick in 2025 Draft
- Round 2, 45th Overall Pick in 2025 Draft
- Round 2 Pick in 2026 Draft
Colts Get (from New York Jets):
- Round 1, 7th Overall Pick in 2025 Draft
- Round 6, 185th Overall Pick in 2025 Draft
The Colts take an opportunity to be aggressive and go after one of the few potential blue chip prospects at a premium position in this draft class.
