The Indianapolis Colts were awarded two additional seventh-round compensatory picks in the 2026 National Football League Draft, according to a March 9 announcement from the league. The selections are Nos. 249 and 254 overall.
Compensatory draft picks are given based on a formula that considers salary, playing time, and postseason honors of free agents gained or lost during the previous offseason. Last year, the Colts signed three qualifying free agents—safety Cam Bynum, quarterback Daniel Jones, and cornerback Charvarius Ward Sr.—while losing five: quarterback Joe Flacco, guard Will Fries, center Ryan Kelly, defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo, and linebacker E.J. Speed.
With these additions, the Colts now hold seven total selections in the upcoming draft: one each in the second, third, fourth, and fifth rounds as well as three in the seventh round.
The full order for the 2026 NFL Draft will be released at a later date.
