The Colts have signed all four of their Day 3 picks.
The Indianapolis Colts signed four of their eight selections in the 2022 NFL draft to rookie contracts, the team announced Friday.

Here’s a look at the four draft picks to get under contract with the Colts as of Friday:
3 things to know about Colts new TE Andrew Ogletree.
As the 2022 NFL draft winds down, the Indianapolis Colts added some much-needed depth at tight end picking up the young player out of Youngstown State in Andrew Ogletree.
It’s not often we see a team draft two tight ends in the same draft, but this position is vital to Frank Reich’s offense and Matt Ryan’s success. The Colts also added Jelani Woods out of Virginia in the third round.
Your Indianapolis Colts 2022 NFL draft class!
The Indianapolis Colts have concluded their selections in the 2022 NFL draft, and now we can sit back and look at the class in its entirety.
As has been stated several times over the weekend, the Colts truly emphasized athleticism, high-end traits and upside with every selection they made.
From wide receiver Alec Pierce to defensive back Rodney Thomas II, here is your 2022 NFL draft class Colts fans:
Instant analysis of the Colts drafting TE Andrew Ogletree with the No. 192 overall pick.
The Indianapolis Colts selected Youngstown State tight end Andrew Ogletree with the No. 192 overall in the 2022 NFL draft.
Despite adding Jelani Woods to the roster in the third round during Day 2 of the draft, the Colts bring in more competition for the back end of the tight end room.
Ogletree didn’t go to the NFL combine, but he did test very well at his pro day.
The Colts selected TE Andrew Ogletree with No. 192 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
The Indianapolis Colts selected Youngstown State tight end Andrew Ogletree with the No. 192 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Even after taking the uber-athletic Jalani Woods in the third round on Friday night, the Colts double down at the tight end position with the selection of Ogletree with their first pick in the sixth round.
Here is the scouting report on Ogletree from Dane Brugler’s draft guide:
“Andrew Ogletree lettered in basketball and football at Northridge High and earned all-state in both sports as a senior (also named the 2015-16 Division-III player of the year in basketball, averaging 14.5 points per game). He signed with Division-II Findlay as a receiver and set career-bests as a junior in 2018. After sitting out the 2019 season with a knee injury, he transferred to FCS-level Youngstown State for his final two seasons, starting every game at tight end in 2021. Ogletree plays with the agility and control of a smaller athlete and uses his long, galloping strides to work to open space. He has the catch radius to pull in difficult throws over defenders, but will also drop too many easy ones. He didn’t find the end zone at YSU. As a blocker, he is willing, but needs to improve his knee bend and aiming points to leverage his man. Overall, Ogletree’s stats don’t jump off the page, but his tape shows an agile-footed big man who is still discovering how good he can be.”
The Colts acquired this pick as a part of the trade with the Minnesota Vikings on Day 2 of the draft.
