List of Indianapolis Colts first - round draft picks The Baltimore Colts joined the National Football League ( NFL ) in 1953 where they participated in their first NFL Draft and selected Billy Vessels , a halfback from the University of Oklahoma . The team ' s most recent first round selection was Andrew Luck , a quarterback from Stanford in the 2012 NFL Draft . Every year during April , each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting but more commonly known as the NFL Draft . Teams are ranked in inverse order based on the previous season ' s record , with the worst record picking first , and the second worst picking second and so on . The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl ; the Super Bowl champion " always " picks last , and the Super Bowl loser " always " picks second last . Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks , players , cash , or a combination thereof . Thus , it is not uncommon for a team ' s actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick , or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades . The Colts have selected the number one overall pick in the draft on six separate occasions , one of which was used to select Super Bowl XLI MVP Peyton Manning . They have also selected the second overall pick five times and the third overall pick twice . The team ' s five selections from Ohio State University are the most chosen by the Colts from one university .
Marshall Eugene DeWolfe Marshall Eugene DeWolfe ( September 22 , 1880 – January 1 , 1915 ) was the only child of future First Lady Florence Kling and a man reputed to have been her first husband , Henry Athenton " Pete " DeWolfe ( 4 March 1859 - 8 March 1894 ) . Born in Galion , Crawford County , Ohio , young DeWolfe was primarily raised by his mother ; his father was a chronic alcoholic who was absent from the home for days at a time . Those doing research on the Hardings , including John Dean and Robert Ferrell among others , have never been able to find concrete proof of Kling - DeWolfe marriage , leading to the conclusion that the future First Lady and DeWolfe likely established a common law marriage . However divorce papers on file in Marion County Ohio do grant a divorce for Florence from Henry " Pete " DeWolfe , which suggests that a formal marriage did take place at some undocumented time . Following the divorce of his parents , young Marshall was raised by his grandparents , Amos Hall Kling and Louisa " Louise " Mabel ( Bouton ) Kling , while his mother lived independently and earned an income as a piano teacher in Marion , Ohio . As part of the agreement with her father , Florence would not have a role in her own son ’ s upbringing . Throughout his life , Marshall used either his Kling or DeWolfe surname . Florence Kling DeWolfe married newspaper publisher Warren G . Harding in 1891 , however Marshall remained under his grandfather ' s control and roof . While a room was set aside for him in the Harding home , Marshall never felt at home under his mother ' s roof , and never comfortable under his grandfather ' s strict control . DeWolfe studied journalism at the University of Michigan from 1899 to 1903 . While attending Michigan , he played football as a quarterback on the Michigan Wolverines all - freshman football team in 1899 . DeWolfe aspired to be a newspaperman like his stepfather Warren G . Harding . By all accounts , his relationship with Harding was closer than the relationship that he had with his mother . After his graduation from Marion High School , DeWolfe was given a job at the " Marion Daily Star " . DeWolfe eventually purchased a struggling newspaper in Colorado , moving there with his young family . The venture was unsuccessful , as was a later farming attempt , due in part to his problem with alcoholism . Marshall Kling DeWolfe died of the effects of alcoholism and tuberculosis in Colorado on January 1 , 1915 , at the age of 34 . His death , the return of his body to Marion and his funeral were events that were not known in the community . He is buried in an unmarked grave in the DeWolfe family plot in Marion Cemetery . When Warren G . Harding was elected President in 1920 , the fact that the new First Lady had once been a mother ( and that she was a grandmother ) were items not discussed in the press , nor by the White House . Marshall Eugene DeWolfe married Esther Naomi Neely . Their son , George Warren DeWolfe ( 1914 - 1968 ) , and daughter , Eugenia DeWolfe ( 1911 - 1978 ) , were the principal heirs to the estate left by their grandmother , Florence Harding , following her death on November 21 , 1924 .
