With the 2026 NFL Draft set for April 23-25, the Indianapolis Colts are evaluating their quarterback situation. Currently, they have Daniel Jones, who is under contract, alongside Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard. The Colts' need for a quarterback is low, as they are banking on Jones' ability to replicate his earlier success, despite his recent injury. General Manager Chris Ballard has indicated a desire to acquire more draft capital, potentially through trades, including one involving Richardson. Leonard has shown he can step up, particularly after his performance in Week 18 against Houston. The Colts are also looking at several top quarterback prospects, including Garrett Nussmeier from LSU and Behren Morton from Texas Tech, during their official draft visits. Given their roster needs and limited draft picks, it is uncertain whether they will prioritize the quarterback position in this draft.
