Latu and JTT making it into the top-right quadrant for RUN D + PASS RUSH is not something I would have predicted early in the season.
A glimmer of hope for next season would be really nice.
@DaveByrum1 They’ll still be able to trade JT in the offseason if the new GM wants. I don’t hate the decision to leave him with all of the available assets.
The Colts currently have 10 picks in the 2027 Draft:
2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 4th, 4th, 5th, 5th, 6th, 7th.
They are also projected to receive a compensatory 4th (Paye) + 7th (Gallimore).
If they were interested in moving into the 1st, their 2nd + SEA 3rd would net ~25th overall.
My best guess as to why the Colts kept Jonathan Taylor:
They were likely offered a 2nd round pick for him. It’s quite possible that they could still get that for him in the offseason.
Allows the new GM to decide whether they are competitive in 2027 or rebuilding for 2028.
In 2027, Charvarius Ward has a $24.6M cap hit. The Colts will save $18M of that if the new GM chooses to cut him this offseason.
He’s gonna need to put on quite an audition over the next 9 weeks if he plans on sticking around in Indy.
Here is what we know:
- Bengals agreed to a trade with the Eagles for Arnold Ebiketie
- Found out that the trade would negate the 3rd round comp pick they are supposed to get from Trey Hendrickson's depature
- Trade is off

Current look at the Indianapolis Colts’ 2027 roster.
Daniel Jones is the obvious *️⃣ at this point.
Colts retain their starting 5 on OL, 3 starting CBs, and all 6 of their EDGE.
They will have significant work to do at WR, TE and on the IDL, plus an upgrade at EDGE.
