PFF grades for Indianapolis Colts' 8 NFL draft picks

The Indianapolis Colts selected eight players in the 2026 NFL draft. Let's take a look at how each player fared during their final college seasons with Pro Football Focus' grading system as our guide.

But first, below is a look at PFF's grading system for some context. While this metric is very helpful when it comes to quantifying a player's performance, PFF's grading system isn't the be-all and end-all either. It is one metric out of many that are out there to evaluate play.

• 90.0+: Elite
• 80-89.9: High quality
• 70-79.9: Good
• 60-69.9: Above average
• 50-59.9: Average
• 40-49.9: Below average
• 39.9 or less: Poor

LB CJ Allen

PFF grade: 75.8

Allen totaled 13 quarterback pressures and four sacks as a blitzer. He was a very sound tackler and forced three pass breakups in coverage, holding pass-catchers to 10.6 yards per catch.

S AJ Haulcy

PFF grade: 86.6

A versatile defender who can fill a variety of roles at the safety position, Haulcy brings an added ballhawking presence to the Colts' secondary. He recorded eight interceptions and 10 pass breakups over the last two years.

OL Jalen Farmer

PFF grade: 69.8

Farmer surrendered only 14 pressures and three sacks over 457 pass-blocking snaps in 2025. His run-blocking grade was 67.4.

LB Bryce Boettcher

PFF grade: 77.4

Boettcher was quite good at limiting plays in coverage last season, surrendering only 6.0 yards per catch. In part, that success comes from his reliability as a tackler. His run defense grade was 72.1 and he generated 12 pressures as a blitzer.
