Indianapolis Colts consider edge rusher prospects for the 2027 NFL draft

The Indianapolis Colts are evaluating the 2027 NFL draft class for potential pass-rush additions to supplement Laiatu Latu. Scouting reports highlight a deep group of edge defenders, with over 15 players projected to receive early round grades. Among the prospects under consideration are Colin Simmons, Dylan Stewart, Matayo Uiagalelei, and Quincy Rhodes, all of whom hold first-round or early second-round grades. The team has a history of drafting pass rushers from Ohio State, making Kenyatta Jackson a notable prospect should he remain available in the second round. Other targets with specific skill sets include speed rushers like Damon Wilson Jr. and Clev Lubin, as well as powerful frames like Will Heldt and Boubacar Traore. Indianapolis seeks long-term solutions to bolster its defense and alleviate pressure on its secondary.
