Good, bad, ugly from Colts' picks in computer-simulated mock draft

With the 2026 NFL draft almost here, let's run through a full seven-round mock for the Indianapolis Colts , but with a twist -- the computer will make all of the selections. Using  Pro Football Network's  mock draft machine, this mock draft was completely computer-simulated to take as much of the human element and as many biases as possible out of the equation. So, who did the Colts come away with?

Let's break down the selections with the good, bad, and the ugly. Colts picks in computer-simulated 2026 NFL mock draft Pick 47: Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee Pick 78: Domonique Orange, IDL, Iowa State Pick 113: Derrick Moore, ED, Michigan TRADE - Pick 146. JC Davis, OT, Illinois** Pick 249: George Gumbs, ED, Florida **Colts traded picks 156, 214, and 254 to Cleveland to move up to pick 146 The good from Colts' picks in 2026 NFL mock draft Addressing the defensive front: The Colts need a more consistent pass rush in 2026, and despite there being several additions made up front already this offseason, none of those additions guarantee that more steady pressure on the quarterback is generated.

At defensive tackle specifically, the prudent move would be to plan ahead a bit in this year's draft, with DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart, Colby Wooden, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Jerry Tillery, and others all free agents in 2027. Taking an early round WR does seem to be in play: The WR3 role is up for grabs, and the Colts had Brazzell in for a pre-draft visit. He would add another big play threat to the offense.

Offensive line depth: The Colts may have their starting five on the roster already, but this is a unit that is very short on experience. Chris Ballard should be looking to bolster the depth of this unit, especially at tackle.
