They started with Jalen Farmer, a right-gar from Kentucky at Pick-1-13, who's got elite athleticism and a tiny 0.5 percent pressure rate allowed last year. Then came Bryce Boetcher, a coverage linebacker from Oregon in Round 4, Pick-1-135, plus two defensive ends in George Gums. Junior from Florida and Caden Curry from Ohio State, a local Hoosier with 11 sacks in 2025. Meanwhile, they added depth they're running back with Seth McGowan from Kentucky in Round 7, a powerful backup for Jonathan Taylor, who shines and pass. Pro, the crown jewel dropped at the very end.
