Now they roll into day two with seven picks on deck. They hold the 47th overall in round two, 78th in round three, and 113th in round four, 156th in. Round five, 214th in round six from Pittsburgh as a compensatory, and two late round seven picks at 249th and two. 154th, both compensatory. Fans and analysts see this as a bold reset for the Colts, who need depth across the board after years of inconsistency.
