Computer Mock Draft: Colts' 2026 NFL Draft Strategy

0:00On April 19th, the 2026 NFL draft is creeping up fast, and we ran a full seven-round mock just with the Indianapolis Colts, but here's the twist. A computer made every single pick to cut out all human bias. The sim grabbed why receiver Chris Brazil from Tennessee at Pick 47, defensive Lyman Dominique Orange from Iowa State at 78. Edge Derek Moore from Michigan at 113, then traded up to 146 for offensive tackle JC Davis from Illinois and capped it with Edge. George Gums from Florida at 249. To make that trade happen, the Colts shipped Pix 156 to 14 and 254 to Cleveland, jumping ahead for that tackle spot. This hall hit some real needs, like beefing up the defensive front for better pass rush, since guys like DeForest Buckner and others hit free agency. Next year, grabbing an early wide-out like Brazil fits too, filling that third receiver roll after a pre-draft visit and adding tackle depth makes sense for a, young line, short on bets. On the flip

1:04side, that trade stings, Colts are already light on Pix with just seven total, and they usually trade down to stockpile more, not give. I'm away for a backup. Overall, the computer sees a balanced front seven boost with some offense sprinkled in, setting the Colts of solid if they follow this blueprint come. Draft night.
