My 2026 Colts Draft Hot Take

[Oldcolt]

I hope this turns out as good as everyone thinks it is. I have no idea and no longer have any faith whatsoever in our drafting. If Ward and Gardner play all year it would have a huge positive effect on this defense. My opinion is that Ward doesn't belong anywhere near a football game. After the number and severity of his concussions he most likely already has CTE and is super prone to get more concussions. One more and he will most likely retire, something this team should definitely know how it will deal with before it happens as this is almost a guarantee to happen this year. Men with 3 concussions (he had 3 last year alone) are 3X more likely to get another and defensive backs have the highest rate of concussions in the NFL.
