The Indianapolis Colts may have their eyes on several prospects but they have to hope the players can make it past a few other teams.
The NFL Draft is almost here and the Indianapolis Colts are in a good position to round out their roster with some good prospects. Chris Ballard and company are usually pretty good in the draft, hopefully, that continues.
The Colts don’t have a first-round pick and it’s unlikely that they will trade up into the first round. That means that Indy won’t be joining the party until the second day of the draft.
Even then, there should still be plenty of talented prospects on the board for Indianapolis to choose from. Indy’s biggest needs are receiver, left tackle, corner, and tight end.
I’m not panicked but the Colts’ current needs with the draft less than a month away:
— Zach Hicks (@ZachHicks2) April 5, 2022
- RB3
- WR 2 and 3
- TE competition/depth
- OT depth
- IOL depth
- DL depth
- CB competition/depth
- Able bodies at safety
At least linebacker is good!
With where the team is currently slotted to pick in the first few rounds, they should have their chance at some elite prospects. However, it always seems that way.
That is, until the last minute when a team a few spots ahead selects the player that a team had circled. If the Colts are lucky, this won’t happen to them this year. But that’s unlikely.
There are plenty of teams that need the same thing Indianapolis does and chances are they’re interested in the same prospects. Let’s take a look at 4 teams that could ruin Indy’s draft plans by selecting players before they reach the Colts.
