NFL draft: Strength of draft class at Colts' big positions of need

The Indianapolis Colts are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft with critical needs at multiple positions. The tight end position stands out, as the Colts require not only depth but also a more significant pass-catching threat; last season's group managed a mere 467 yards combined. Pro Football Focus (PFF) has graded the tight end class at a solid B, suggesting a good mix of talent that could help the Colts enhance their aerial attack.

On the offensive line, while the starters may already be on the roster, depth is a concern, particularly with Ryan Kelly's departure. PFF rates the interior offensive line at C and tackle positions at B-, indicating room for improvement. Meanwhile, the defensive line boasts impressive grades from PFF at A for both the interior and edge positions, making it a focal point for the Colts as they look to bolster their defense.

At linebacker, however, PFF has given the group a troubling D grade, categorizing it as the weakest among this draft's classes, further complicating the Colts’ strategy. The Colts aim to address these gaps effectively while factoring in the depth available at each position.

What strategy should the Colts employ for the 2025 draft?How will the Colts' recent draft history impact their 2025 strategy?What is the expected impact of the 2025 draft on the Colts' playoff chances?What are the biggest risks for the Colts heading into the draft?
