Show Notes
The Indianapolis Colts are considering a trade-up in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft, with fans divided on the move. General manager Chris Ballard might need to make creative trades to secure a higher pick, as the team currently holds the forty-seventh overall selection. Ballard has hinted at trading back, which could help stockpile assets for future deals. The Colts have only two picks in the top one hundred, leaving options open for a significant move next year. Trading up could target premium positions like edge rusher or cornerback, but it would likely require sacrificing future picks. The Rich Hill trade value chart suggests that moving up to pick thirty-two or thirty-seven could cost the Colts picks forty-seven, seventy-eight, and one thirteen, among others. Ballard is playing a long game, as any move up in 2026 will shape the teams trajectory for years to come.
