## Resource

The Indianapolis Colts first draft class under Chris Ballard was a mixed bag, with early picks like a first-round safety and a second-round cornerback failing to pan out. However, later rounds delivered solid contributors, including a fourth-round running back and a fourth-round defensive tackle who became a cornerstone player for the defense. A fifth-round linebacker also proved to be a great pick, becoming a steady starter and reliable presence in the middle of the defense. Despite the top picks being largely disappointing, the success on Day Three saved the class from being a complete disaster, resulting in a below-average class overall but with some real gems found late.
