Colts' Linebacker Need Met by Elarms-Orr

0:00On April 15, the Indianapolis Colts are hurting bad at linebacker right now, but the 2026 NFL draft looks stacked with talent there. Their general manager, Chris Ballard, has a real knack for snagging gyms late in the draft, especially days 2 and 3. Word is, the Colts are super high on TCU standout, Caleb Alarms, or a rising prospect whose turning heads. His 6 foot 2, 234 pound athlete exploded in a senior year, earning first team all big 12 honors with 130. Taccles. Ninth in the FPS Plus, 11 Taccles for loss, four sacks, and two passes broken up. He's projected mid to late rounds, maybe as early as round 3, but could slide right into day 3 territory. Meanwhile, the Colts current linebacker group is thin on experience, with just 30 starts total. He brought back a keem Davis-gather this offseason, accounting for 24 of those, while Rookie Jalen Carly's chipped in 6 before injuries.

1:00Hit. The team still optimistic about Carly's, the x-safety convert, but they need proven depth fast. Defensive coordinator Lou Anorumo should love Elarms, or as elite blitzing and solid coverage skills. Other squads like the Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, and even rival Houston Texans are circling him too, hoping Ryan's 13. Among linebackers, 140th overall on the bigboard. Ballad's track record means the Colts could land this impact guy with picks at 113, or 156, setting up a stronger. Defense come next season.
