Josh Edwards Mock Draft: Colts Grab Linebacker, Offensive Tackle, Edge Rusher, and More
In this podcast episode, Josh Edwards from CBS Sports presents a seven-round mock draft for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Colts select linebacker Anthony Hill Junior from Texas at pick forty-seven, offensive tackle Caleb Tiernan from Northwestern at seventy-eight, edge rusher LT Overton from Alabama at one thirteen, interior defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim from Texas A&M at one fifty-six, quarterback Joey Aguilar from Tennessee at two fourteen, safety Jakobe Thomas from Miami at two forty-nine, and interior lineman Brandon Cleveland from NC State at two fifty-four.
The mock draft highlights the Colts focus on defensive improvements, with smart picks like Hill and Overton. However, some selections, such as Tiernan in the third round, are debated due to the teams lack of urgency in addressing offensive tackle depth. The mock draft also includes a developmental quarterback and two interior linemen, but it misses opportunities to address pressing needs like wide receiver depth and cornerback help.
Overall, the mock draft showcases a mix of strategic defensive picks and questionable reaches that may not align with the Colts immediate roster needs, keeping the draft conversation alive as the real event approaches.
