Mock Draft Monday, our weekly roundup of mock drafts, is back after a significant week of free agent signings. How will that impact who experts predict will be available for the Colts in this year's NFL Draft?

The Colts last week answered two key questions for the makeup of their 2026 roster: Yes, Daniel Jones is back. And yes, Alec Pierce is back.
Additionally, defensive ends Arden Key and Micheal Clemons were signed, as was defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, and defensive tackle Colby Wooden was acquired in a trade with the Green Bay Packers. Tight end Drew Ogletree is back, too.
The Colts' roster is far from set in terms of bringing in or retaining free agents; however, the pace of these signings will slow from a deluge to a trickle in the coming weeks. So how, after last week, do various NFL Draft experts see the Colts operating in next month's NFL Draft?
