Ballard's Draft Plans: Colts' Roster Gaps & Trade Possibilities

0:00On April 14th, Colt GM Chris Ballard is set to break down the team's draft plans next week ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. He'll chat with local media on Monday, April 20th at 12 p.m. Eastern Time, keeping up his annual pre-draft tradition. The Colt ship things up big and free agency, bringing in nine new outside players and resigning some of their own guys. They traded away key pieces like Michael Pittman and Zahir Franklin while putting Kenny More on the trade block. Players like Samson Ebbacom and Quitte Pay bolted for different teams. That turnover left some clear gaps on the roster that the draft needs to fill. Fans and analysts are watching closely since these moves changed the team's look heading into the off season. Ballard enters with just seven picks total, including only two in the top 100. He might snag more by dealing more or trading back from their spots to stockpile capital. Meanwhile, head coach Shane Steichen jumps in Tuesday as voluntary off-season workouts kick off, giving everyone a full picture before draft season.
