Colts Draft Steals: Massive Value Grabs

On April 26th, the Indianapolis Colts just pulled off a slick, draft maneuver, landing

third overall in draft class value according to Warren Sharps.

Draft capital over expectation metric.

That measures how pigs stack up against consensus bigboard rankings.

Only the Washington commanders and Carolina Panthers beat them out.

They snacked eight players in the 2026 NFL Draft, turning heads with smart value grabs

across the board.

Fans and analysts are buzzing because six of those eight pigs came later than expected,

meaning the Colts got premium talent on the cheap.

Standout stills include Y receiver Dianne Berks, taken at 254th overall, but ranked 96th,

a massive 158, spot bargain.

Defensive end Caden Curry and running back Cess McGowan followed close behind with

their own big value jumps.

Two pigs stretched a bit early, like defensive end George Gums, but overall the Colts racked

up.

Minus 222 in value, negative is the win here, setting up their roster for a serious

blow up down the line.
