Colts forget about addressing a top need in 7-round 2026 mock draft
In a recent 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft, the Indianapolis Colts forgot to address a top need early on.
With the 2026 NFL draft approaching, Pro Football Network put together a seven-round mock draft. So, who did the Indianapolis Colts come away with? Despite what was a fairly active free agency period for the Colts, Chris Ballard still has work to do.
Defensive end and linebacker remain priorities. The wide receiver unit could be addressed as well, while adding depth at safety and to the offensive line should be in play. That, however, will have to be accomplished with a modest seven total draft picks, including only two in the top 100.
Ballard has already hinted strongly at wanting to trade back at some point. Let's break down Alec Elijah's selections for the Colts. Day 2 draft picks for Colts in mock Pick 47: Skyler Bell, WR, UCONN Pick 78: Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati - While I did say wide receiver should be addressed, I don't know how I feel about doing that at pick No.
47. The WR3 role may be up for grabs, but the Colts do still have Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren to impact the passing game. - I suppose taking a receiver right away is easier to digest with the Colts landing Golday in the third round, but I wouldn't bank on that happening either.
