The Indianapolis Colts don’t pick until the second day of the Draft but many believe that Skyy Moore will be Indy’s pick at No. 42.

After months of anticipation, the NFL Draft is finally here. Unfortunately, the anticipation will have to build for one more day for the Indianapolis Colts.

Indy isn’t scheduled to pick until the second round on Friday, at No. 42 overall. Although, there has been chatter about a slight possibility of the Colts trading into the first.

That’s unlikely, so fans should just prepare to wait for tomorrow. However, many believe they already know what direction Indianapolis is going to go in the second round.

All things considered, it looks like wide receiver Skyy Moore has emerged as the popular pick for the Colts at No. 42.

Skyy Moore is the popular pick for the Colts

In addition to the many Colts writers that have Moore joining Indianapolis in their latest mocks, NFL Mock Draft Database has Moore as Indy’s consensus pick.

In mock drafts from the last week, Moore lands with Indianapolis in 38% of them, the highest of any prospect.

If Moore is actually the pick Indy ends up with, it will be a good selection. In three seasons at Western Michigan, Moore excelled at receiver.

In 13 games as a freshman, Moore caught 51 passes for 802 yards and three touchdowns. As good as his debut season was, his finale was even better.

In his last season with Western Michigan, Moore caught 95 passes for 1,292 yards and 10 touchdowns.

He would be a good fit for the Colts because not only does Indianapolis need receivers, but Moore provides the offense with a different type of receiver.

Moore is 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, a much smaller receiver than Michael Pittman Jr. However, he is a faster receiver, running a 4.41, which creates separation and thrives as a route runner.

Adding Moore to Indy’s offense will give Matt Ryan another weapon and help open up the passing game. Moore has the potential to be explosive at the next level and that’s what the Colts need.

Soon, everyone will find out if that’s what Indianapolis will get.
