On April 24th, Round 1 of the 2026 NFL draft wrapped up, and now the Indianapolis Colts gear up for their first day-to-pick at number. 47 overall, followed by number 78 in Round 3. With 32 players gone, the boards loaded with talent that fits their biggest gaps at Linebacker, defensive end, safety, and wide receiver. Linebackers, they're glaring whole right now. A Keem Davis. Gether leaves the Dept chart, but Dept drops off quick with guys like Jalen Carly's barely, seeing snaps. Top options like CJ Allen from Georgia, or Anthony Hill Jr. from Texas, could slide right in around their picks and shore that up fast. Defensive end got a boost from free agent signings like Arden Key and Michael Clemens, but they need a true start-a-pair with Li-A to Latu guys, such as Armason Thomas from Oklahoma, or Danny Dennis Sutton from Penn State Rank High, and might not last long. Safety's a battle for the strong safety spot next to Nick Bynum, with Jonathan Owens and others vying for it, while wide receiver 3 is wide open.

Between Nick Westbrook Ikein, Ashton Dullin, and the Quantredwell talents like Chris Bell from Louisville, or Zachariah Branch from Georgia, could claim. Those reps, Colts GM. Chris Ballard faces tough choices to build that defense and offense depth, keeping eye on how they maneuver tonight to grab these gems before. They're off the board.
