Edholm's Ideal Colts Draft Picks: LB Rodriguez, WR Williams

Eric Edholm of NFL.com has selected linebacker Jacob Rodriguez and wide receiver Antonio Williams as the ideal targets for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2026 NFL Draft.

For the first selection at No. 47, Edholm chose Texas Tech's Jacob Rodriguez to bolster a linebacker corps lacking experience. Known for his football instincts and playmaking ability, Rodriguez offers the depth the Colts need.

In the second round, Edholm projects Antonio Williams of Clemson at No. 78 to fill the WR3 vacancy left by Michael Pittman's trade. While Williams is a smaller slot receiver, Edholm notes his consistent production and ability to make defenders miss.
