Evaluating Colts' picks in post-free agency 7-round mock draft

With the dust having settled on free agency, full attention now turns to the NFL draft, and with that, Pro Football Network has recently put together a full seven-round mock draft. So, who did the Indianapolis Colts select? It's been an active few weeks for the Colts .

GM Chris Ballard has re-signed several of the team's own free agents and made nine outside additions. However, despite the number of moves, there are still a number of needs that the Colts have to address, including finding some immediate help at defensive end and linebacker, along with bolstering the depth at safety, the offensive line, and wide receiver. With a modest seven draft picks, including just two in the top 100, Ballard will have to make each selection count.

The margin for error with the Colts is quite slim. Let's break down the Colts' selections in TJ Randall's mock for PFSN. Pick 47: Zion Young, DE, Missouri Listed at 6-5 - 262, Young had a breakout year in 2025, recording 56 pressures and eight sacks.

Out of 100 eligible defensive ends, Young ranked 19th in pass rush win rate. He also graded out as one of PFF's better run defenders among his position group. Pick 78: Kyle Louis, LB, Pitt Louis has been very effective as a blitzer, recording 50 pressures over the last two seasons.
