Colts could draft Kyler Gordon

If Indianapolis does decide to go with a receiver early, or just wants to pick up an additional cornerback, Kyler Gordon should be available for Indy in the mid-rounds.

Gordon is another corner that has been linked to Indy, going to the Colts as early as the second round in some mock drafts.

He is one-half of the talented cornerback duo out of Washington with Trent McDuffie being the other half. McDuffie is one of the top corners in this class and is expected to be off the board in the first round.

The 5-foot-11 Gordon will have to wait a little longer. With the performances he put on tape in his four years at Washington, the wait shouldn’t be that long.

Gordon has the athleticism to cover and also the fearlessness to come downhill and make big tackles. He also has the versatility to move around the defensive backfield, lining up inside and outside.

Gordon could immediately be a depth piece for the Colts at a number of secondary positions and can continue to grow until he is a full-time starter.

With the picks Indy has for the final two days of the Draft weekend, a corner will certainly be selected. Hopefully, the Colts make the right pick and land a guy that can come in and immediately contribute next season.
