It’s not too often in January that we see a full seven-round mock draft, so let’s take a look at who the Indianapolis Colts ended up selecting.
As of now, the Colts only have five official draft picks in 2026 after trading their first-round pick for Sauce Gardner and a sixth-round pick for Mekhi Blackmon.

However, Indianapolis is currently projected to end up with two compensatory selections, giving them seven picks in total.
Jacob Infante of Pro Football Network put together the full seven-round mock draft. Here is who he had the Colts taking.
Pick 47: Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri
Pick 78: Keyron Crawford, EDGE, Auburn
Pick 113: Dametrious Crownover, OT, South Carolina
In terms of positions, this does feel like a realistic path for the Colts. GM Chris Ballard discussed the importance of getting younger and faster on defense this offseason. He also mentioned the need for “more fuel” along the defensive line.
At tackle, Braden Smith is a free agent, leaving the Colts with Bernhard Raimann, Jalen Travis, and Blake Freeland. Added depth and competition at right tackle wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Rahsul Faison, RB, South Carolina
Lawsone Luckie, TE, Georgia
Like defensive end, the defensive tackle position should be a priority this offseason for the Colts.
Wide receiver — if Alec Pierce is back — running back, and tight end aren’t pressing needs, but adding depth at each spot could be justified. Safety and the interior offensive line are positions I would prioritize over running back and tight end.
