NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter thinks one team didn’t do themselves too many favors this year.
Handing out draft grades for all 32 NFL teams, Reuter took aim at the Indianapolis Colts in particular. Noting that they didn’t completely whiff, but their selections left some to be desired.
Saying:
The ill-fated trade for Carson Wentz cost them a first-round pick, but they were able to make up for it somewhat on Day 2 with a few solid picks at positions of need. They secured the athletic Woods, an up-and-coming left tackle in Raimann and playmaking safety in Cross.

However, the NFL.com writer says it’s going to take a lot of phone calls in order to fill some of the holes still left on the roster. Noting:
Johnson‘s quickness off the snap made him one of the best non-combine invitees in this [draft]; and Brooks is an undersized thorn in the side of offensive linemen. Grabbing another big-bodied tight end like Ogletree seemed strange after picking Woods. The Colts have work to do after the draft, with a need to accumulate interior offensive linemen, receivers and running backs to fill out the back end of the roster.
The Colts are still a team that’s expected to make a run at the playoffs this year. It’ll be something to watch to see how they pad out their 2022 roster.
