The Indianapolis Colts came out of the 2021 NFL draft with seven selections and several high-upside prospects that have been adding to the roster in hopes of making an impact.
Some of these picks will make an impact quicker than others. Some may not even make an impact at all. It takes time for rookies to develop into clear starting roles if they ever get to that point, but some have quicker paths than others.
Using a 1-5 scale for predicting the impact for draft picks from the 2021 class, here’s how it will break down:
- 5: Full-time starter
- 4: Heavily in rotation, seeing large chunk of snaps

- 2: Mostly special teams with limited or no snaps at position
- 1: Little to no impact or practice squad
