Colts set Top 30 visit with one of the biggest OL targets you'll ever see
As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for the 2023 NFL Draft, they are scheduling a meeting with impressive offensive line prospect Dawand Jones.
While the focus for the Indianapolis Colts is no question in bringing in a star quarterback for the future, potentially Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson or C.J. Stroud, you already know general manager Chris Ballard is going to look to improve the offensive line as well. Without a stout line, a good QB is useless.
That's why it's no surprise that Ballard and Co. are going to be doing their due-diligence in scouting the top OL prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft. A guy on the list for you to monitor? That's be Ohio State offensive tackle Dawand Jones, who has set a Top 30 visit with Indy ahead of next month's draft.
Colts set a Top 30 visit with Ohio State OT Dawand Jones
Jones is fresh off a strong showing at the NFL Combine, where he turned plenty of heads. Jones is a massive specimen, checking in at 6-foot-8, 375 pounds. His size alone has scouts and general managers intrigued by his game. The fact that he has quick feet and hips only makes him that much more of a top target for squads.
As things stand, Jones is projected to be taken early on in the second round. If he's there for the taking when it's Ballard's turn to send in his second pick of the night, then he'll surely be an interesting name to keep an eye on, especially if things go well for him during his visit with the organization in the near future.
This is the time of year where the Colts will be working overtime in checking out potential draft candidates. Jones will be receiving plenty of interest ahead of late April, as he has scheduled additional visits with the Commanders, Eagles, Steelers, Browns and others.
Jones is known for making life tough for opposing defensive linemen, and that could prove to be the case next season in the AFC South as well.
