NFL draft experts have given high grades to the Indianapolis Colts' 2026 draft class. The Colts' selections received a strong GPA based on evaluations from 24 different sources.
Overall, NFL draft experts who graded each team's 2026 NFL draft class thought highly of the selections made by the Indianapolis Colts.
At the conclusion of each NFL draft, Rene Bugner compiles the various post-draft grades for each team and calculates their grade point average. This year, 24 different evaluations made up each team's respective GPA.
So how did the Colts' draft class fare?
The Colts' draft GPA was a 3.12, which ranked as the 11th best in the NFL.
Of the 24 evaluators, four gave the Colts an A- or higher. Only two gave the Colts a grade below a B-, with Indianapolis' worst grade being a C.
The majority of the grades received by the Colts were in the B to B+ range.
Carter Bahns of CBS Sports, who gave the Colts an A-, had this to say about Chris Ballard's class:
"The Colts addressed their defensive needs on Days 2 and 3 after watching from the sidelines on Thursday," wrote Bahns. "That has to feel good for Lou Anarumo after his group put up some real stinkers in the second half of last season."
Nate Davis of USA Today, who gave the Colts their lowest grade, a C, had this to say:
"In a win-now move made at least year’s trade deadline, Indy surrendered this year’s first-rounder (and next year’s even more valuable one) to the Jets for CB Sauce Gardner, who – – wasn’t able to help the cratering Colts win now in 2025. But if Gardner, who hasn’t been the same player the past few years that he was earlier in his career, doesn’t revert to All-Pro form – maybe even Deion Sanders form – history is not going to look kindly upon GM Chris Ballard’s very expensive gambit."
