Colts Hunt Day-Three Gems in NFL Draft

0:00On April 20th, the Indianapolis Colts head into the 2026 NFL draft without a first-round pick, holding just seven selections total, three. In the top 150, their hunting hidden gems, especially on offense, were debt this thin despite bigger needs on defense. Offensive lines took heavy losses this off-season, with starter Braden Smith-Gone and Backup Center Danny Pinter off to Baltimore. That leaves spots open, and GM Chris Ballard loves day three fines like their current starters, Tanner Bordellini, and Will Fries. Fans and scouts buzz about prospects who could step up fast, like replacing Michael Pittman Jr. after his trade to Pittsburgh. The impact hits home with key roles up for grabs, shaking up the lineup early. Dartmouth's W. Lemune, a three-year-left tackle starter, projects the center and could back up Bordellini or swing a tackle. Cincinnati's Jeff Caldwell, wowed at the combine with a 4.3 140 yard dash at 6.5, perfect juice to start day one.

1:01Kentucky's Seth McGowan brings size at 6.0, 223 pounds, as a pass blocker and special teamer behind Jonathan Taylor. These day three targets let the Colts get creative, plugging holes without early capital, and building a deeper offense for the long haul.
