Post All-Star Bowl Games Mock Draft

MOBILE, Ala. — The Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl have come and gone, but the buzz they created will echo all the way to Indianapolis on draft weekend. After a week of practices and spirited exhibition games, a handful of prospects have seen their arrows point sharply upward, forcing league scouts to reshuffle their boards. The latest mock projection reflects that momentum, pairing value with need and slotting several standouts inside the top 150 picks.

Round 2, Pick 46 — Indianapolis Colts Gabe Jacas, EDGE, Illinois Jacas checked every box in Mobile: explosive first step, heavy hands, and a 270-pound frame that still looks like it can add muscle without sacrificing twitch. He produced in one-on-ones, showed counter moves in team periods, and impressed with his red-hot finish to the collegiate season. The Colts need a pocket-collapsing complement to Laiatu Latu and JT Tuimoloau; Jacas offers bull-rush violence and year-over-year improvement that hints at a ceiling still rising.

Round 2, Pick 54 — Indianapolis Colts Rodney Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech Nicknamed the Red Ranger for his sideline-to-sideline range and trademark peanut punches, Rodriguez was the most instinctive coverage linebacker on either roster in Mobile. At barely 6-foot with shorter arms, he will slide on some boards, yet his 2025 tape and Senior Bowl week were dominant. Indianapolis has lacked playmaking speed at weak-side linebacker since parting with Darius Shaquille Leonard and Bobby Okereke; Rodriguez would fill both coverage and takeaway voids from Day 1. The mutual admiration between the prospect and Colts assistant linebackers coach Cato June only sweetens the fit.

Round 3, Pick 82 — Indianapolis Colts Nadame Tucker, EDGE, Western Michigan A latecomer to football who blossomed in the MAC, Tucker posted 14.5 sacks and a 2025-best 28.4 percent pass-rush win rate. He followed that with two sacks in the Senior Bowl game, reaffirming his speed-around-the-corner skill set at 248 pounds. Indianapolis could walk away from free-agents Kwity Paye, Tyquan Lewis and Samson Ebukam, making a second edge addition almost mandatory. Pair Tucker’s bend with Jacas’ power and the Colts suddenly own a young, diverse edge rotation.

Round 4, Pick 115 — Indianapolis Colts Kobe Baynes, OG, Kansas Baynes allowed only 18 pressures across the last two seasons, showcasing a 34-inch wingspan and reliable anchor inside. He moves well on zone concepts and brings a finisher’s mentality to the run game. Behind All-Pro Quenton Nelson and developing Matt Goncalves, Baynes supplies depth with eventual starter upside.

Round 4, Pick 127 — Indianapolis Colts Jared Eastern, DT, Minnesota Once a 260-pound 3-technique, Eastern transformed into a 316-pound nose with flashes of quickness and length rare for his height (6-5). He controlled gaps during Tuesday’s Senior Bowl practices and carries 31 pressures and 4.5 sacks from his final two Gopher seasons. Pad-level consistency remains a coaching point, yet the raw tools are enticing inside the top 130.

Round 5, Pick 155 — Indianapolis Colts Landon Robinson, DT, Navy A former 220-pound linebacker who now lives in the 280s, Robinson overwhelmed Shrine Bowl interior linemen with leverage and first-step burst. Mid-major production (62 pressures, 10.5 sacks) plus special-teams versatility—remember the trickeration punt runs—make him an ideal Day 3 dice roll once Navy weight restrictions disappear.

Round 6, Pick 195 — Indianapolis Colts Trevor Brock, OL, Buffalo Brock logged 60 pressures allowed over three years, improving annually before a 2025 breakout at right tackle. The 6-5, 314-pounder offers guard-tackle flexibility, quick feet to reach wide rushers and an anchor that recovers when initial sets go awry. With Braden Smith headed toward free-agency and Blake Freeland rehabbing a leg injury, Brock becomes valuable swing depth.

The Colts exit the draft’s first two days with two edges, one coverage linebacker, one interior offensive lineman and two defensive-tackle fliers—an inside-out defensive rebuild that should also protect quarterback Anthony Richardson. As combine testing approaches, these Senior and Shrine standouts will look to cement the arrows pointing up that they earned under the Mobile sun.
