ESPN’s Seth Walder recently handed out offseason grades for each NFL team, and although the Indianapolis Colts didn’t make any “headline-grabbing moves,” as Walder put it, he did think highly of the job GM Chris Ballard did.

The theme of the offseason for the Colts was continuity, with their focus being on retaining their own players over bringing in outside additions. This included extending Michael Pittman, Zaire Franklin, and DeForest Buckner, along with re-signing Grover Stewart, Kenny Moore, and Julian Blackmon, among others.

In the draft, the Colts would address two of their biggest needs right away, adding immediate impact help at pass rusher and receiver, selecting Laiatu Latu in the first round and Adonai Mitchell in the second round.
