The Colts have continued to add to their core of young talent in the first four rounds of our mock draft, and they close it out strong in rounds five-seven.
In the first round of our most recent mock draft, the Colts added a cornerback to improve their secondary. They added a trio of prospects in the second round, and they selected a linebacker and wide receiver with their third and fourth round picks.
The Colts have already addressed many of the team’s needs in this mock draft, but there is plenty of room on the roster to find a sleeper or two in the final three rounds.
Round 5: 140th Overall Pick
This mock draft saw the Colts select an offensive tackle in the second round, and they continue to improve their offensive line by drafting Arizona State guard Sam Jones in the fifth round.
Jones is still fairly raw as he only started for about one-and-a-half seasons in college, but he has experience playing tackle and guard and he performed well when he was on the field. Drafting Jones could add some quality depth along the Colts’ offensive line.
Round 6: 178th Overall Pick
Cedrick Wilson is the second Boise State Bronco taken in this mock draft as he provides another potential playmaker for Andrew Luck.
Wilson gained over 1,100 yards receiving in each of his last two seasons at Boise State with 18 touchdowns. He was also a solid kick returner in college averaging 25.8 yards per return in his senior season.

Ito Smith may not be at the level of the top running backs in this year’s draft class, but he’s pretty darn close.
Smith rushed for over 1,100 yards in each of his final three seasons at Southern Miss, and he was a threat in the passing game as well with nearly 1,400 yards receiving during those three years. Smith scored 49 total touchdowns in college, and he would form a dynamic duo of young running backs with Marlon Mack.
