UPDATE: To the dismay of Colts Nation, I waited too long to take a LB. I have corrected that in a newer mock draft. Feel free to check it out if you'd like. Sorry again for this poor mock, but we're on to better things!

Using PFSN's Free Draft Simulator, I decided to made my first 2026 Colts Mock Draft!

First of all, it may be kinda controversial to trade away DeForest Buckner to begin with. However, I asked myself the question of "How much does he have left to give at his age?" and decided to get us back into the 1st Round and receive value for him while possible.

Secondly, I proceeded to get future draft capital by trading down one spot with Buffalo and selected Buckner's replacement in DT Kayden McDonald from Ohio State at 26 Overall.

I tried to address other team needs while picking, but I'm curious on what you all think of this as a whole for the NFL Draft.

Let me know your thoughts, Colts Nation!

  1. If we for some miracle trade back into the 1st and take an interior d lineman I’m going to kill myself and haunt Ballard for the rest of his life.

  2. You realize the 49ers traded Buckner just to force draft his replacement and he sucks right?
