This Indianapolis Colts draft plan could rescue the wide receiver room

The wide receiver situation with the Indianapolis Colts at the moment is cloudy at best, with Alec Pierce's future (he's a free agent) and Michael Pittman Jr.'s (he could be traded) both uncertain. The Colts currently have one certain pass catcher on their roster, and that's Tyler Warren, but they will need more. 

Of course, Warren is also a tight end, which further emphasizes Indy's need to cement their core wide receiver group over the offseason. Re-signing Pierce is obviously a top priority, but if that pursuit fails and the Colts decide to cut bait with Pittman, free agency or the draft will be their only options. 

With that said, there are a handful of attractive wide receiver prospects that could be available to the Colts (after they've addressed their defensive needs) later in the draft. Even if the Colts are successful in re-signing Pierce, it wouldn't be a surprise if they also go after another wideout in the draft, and one of those possibilities just won a national championship.

Indiana Hoosiers standout comes first of 3 wide receivers the Indianapolis Colts could target in the NFL draft

Omar Cooper Jr.

Cooper might have to be taken with a higher draft pick if the Colts have any interest, as the Hoosiers standout is one of the top wideouts on the draft board. Cooper was exceptional in yards after the catch in Indiana and played to his physical strength rather than speed. Cooper proved he was hard to take down after catching a ball, which made him so successful. 

Cooper caught 69 passes for 937 yards and scored 13 touchdowns during Indiana's championship season. He also rushed three times for 74 yards with one touchdown on the ground.

Chris Brazzell II

Tennessee Volunteers' wideout Brazzell resembles Cooper in size and strength, who also exhibited physicality at the wide receiver position. On top of that, he's one of the best deep threat prospects in this draft class, which was evident by his ability to rack up chunk yard plays down the field.

For Daniel Jones, a serious deep threat would be invaluable, as he was one of the league leaders in passing yards up until the time of his injury. Brazzell excelled in route running as well, and in his last season in college, he tallied 62 catches for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games for the Volunteers. 

Denzel Boston

Keeping with the theme, Boston also possesses incredible strength and physicality. Boston is entering the NFL draft after back-to-back excellent seasons with the Washington Huskies. Like Cooper and Brazzell, Boston has a knack for using his size after the catch, while also incorporating his length to catch balls away from his body. 

In his last season with the Huskies, Boston had 881 yards on 62 receptions. He also contributed 11 touchdowns, which was his college career-high; all of his receiving stats were the best in his four-year college career.
