Indianapolis Colts DRAFT PICKS

2026 NFL DRAFT

RD	PICK		PLAYER	TRADE FROM
2	53	Colts	CJ Allen Many of the top off-ball linebackers in this class are hybrid-types with limited experience taking on and shedding blockers in the hole. Allen isn’t flashy, but he’s as close to a Day 1 starting middle linebacker as this class has to offer. He’s smart, stout and just scratching the surface of his potential at just 20 years old. Georgia, LB · POS RK 4	PIT
3	78	Colts	A.J. Haulcy Feast or famine personified, Haulcy promises to be one of the more polarizing defenders of this class as he’s decisive and a heavy hitter but also hyper aggressive and prone to missed tackles. LSU, S · POS RK 4	-
4	113	Colts	Jalen FarmerKentucky, G · POS RK 5	-
4	135	Colts	Bryce BoettcherOregon, LB · POS RK 13	PIT
5	156	Colts	George Gumbs Jr.Florida, DE · POS RK 29	-
6	214	Colts	Caden Curry One of this year’s real breakout stars, Curry added spice to the Buckeyes’ pass rush in 2025. He jumped from 2.5 sacks as a junior to 11 as a senior, but he’s more strong than sudden and might have benefited from his supporting cast. Ohio State, DE · POS RK 18	PIT
7	237	Colts	Seth McGowanKentucky, RB · POS RK 37	PIT
7	254	Colts	Deion Burks Topping out at 629 receiving yards (and that was at Purdue in 2023), Burks never dominated in college like his timed speed (4.30 in the 40-yard dash) and strength (his 26 reps tied for the most among receivers) would suggest. But it is hard to imagine some NFL team not gambling a Day 2 pick on his upside. Oklahoma, WR · POS RK 12	-
