Colts not projected to receive compensatory draft pick

We know how much the Indianapolis Colts love their draft picks but it appears they won’t be getting a compensatory selection in the upcoming 2021 NFL draft.

Though it isn’t official, the Colts aren’t projected to receive a compensatory pick for April’s draft, according to Over The Cap.

Even with the Colts not being a team that spends big in free agency, they did so in 2020 by bringing in quarterback Philip Rivers on a one-year deal. That, coupled with the fact that they didn’t lose any major free agents, is likely to result in the Colts not getting an extra pick in Rounds 3–7 of the draft.

However, the Los Angeles Chargers are projected to receive a third-round compensatory pick thanks to the Colts signing Rivers to a one-year deal in free agency.

This was to be expected for the Colts given their actions in free agency and it seems unlikely they will be one of the teams to get an extra pick in the upcoming draft.
