Colts' Linebacker Gap: Draft Day Solution?

0:00It's April 1st. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. The Indianapolis Colts still have a massive gap in linebacker after signing a Kim Davis Gator in free agency. That move helps, but the whole position group lacks real experience, leaving them thin on depth and competition for snaps. General Manager Chris Ballard says he's open to more free agent additions, but those might not happen until after the NFL draft. With a pair of day two picks, the team could target fresh talent to beef up the room right away. Handing the keys to this inexperienced crew carries real risks on defense, especially when you need guys who can step up week one and handle run stuff. Or, cover it with our mistakes. Fans and analysts see it as a weak spot that could hurt the season. Top draft targets include Texas Tech's Jacob Rodriguez, a standout run defender with picks and forced fumbles. Missouri's Josiah Trotter shines against the run, and as a blitzer, while Cincinnati's Jake Golday brings over 2,000 college snaps and solid coverage skills.
