2026 NFL mock draft roundup: Analysts predict Colts' Day 2 picks

With the first round of the 2026 NFL draft in the books, let's take a look at who the Indianapolis Colts are taking with their first selections in the latest Day 2 NFL mock drafts.

Considering that the Colts were without a first-round selection, things played out quite well, and GM Chris Ballard should have a strong board to work with on day 2. With only two picks and several needs to fill, Ballard must deliver with these upcoming selections.

Let's take a look at who the Colts are picking in these Day 2 mocks.

Matt Miller, ESPN

• Pick 47: CJ Allen, LB, Georgia
• Pick 78: Jaishawn Barham, EDGE, Michigan

Takeaways: In Miller's mock, he addresses the Colts' two biggest needs right away. Linebacker needs added competition throughout that depth chart, while the Colts should still be looking to add more pass-rush juice at defensive end.

Josh Edwards, CBS Sports

• Pick 47: TJ Parker, EDGE, Clemson
• Pick 78: Markel Bell, OT, Miami

Takeaways: As Edwards said, landing Parker at pick 47 would be a "great value." He could compete for snaps opposite of right away. And while adding OT depth makes sense, I don't think that the Colts have the luxury of doing so on Day 2.
