2 'ideal' 2026 NFL draft picks for Indianapolis Colts

Eric Edholm of NFL. com recently selected the "ideal" top two picks for every NFL team. So, who did he pair with the Indianapolis Colts ?

Factoring into Edholm's decision-making was team needs, when they pick, and which prospects could be available at that time. Let's dive into his two selections. Pick No.

47: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech What's the need? Well, it's a very big one. Even with the addition of Davis-Gaither, this is a position group very short on experience.

Depth is needed, and more competition for playing time is needed. You name it, the Colts need it at linebacker. What to know about Rodriguez: Rodriguez was one of  PFF's  highest-graded run defenders at the linebacker position.
