Colts 7-round 2026 mock draft: Tackling big needs at defensive end, linebacker

They traded that selection, a 2027 first-round pick and wide receiver AD Mitchell to the New York Jets for star cornerback Sauce Gardner in November. At the time, a move of that magnitude was somewhat justified given the team’s hot start to the 2025 season, but it ended like all the rest in recent years: without a playoff berth.Advertisement
