After trading their first-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft to acquire defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, the Indianapolis Colts currently won’t be selecting until the No. 34 overall pick.
Moving out of the first round for the second year in a row, there is always a chance the Colts move back into Day 1 if they see a prospect they really like. As it stands, however, the Colts’ first pick in the draft comes in at No. 34.
With just over a month left until the draft, here are 16 prospects the Colts could consider at No. 34:
Jordan Love, QB: It’s likely a stretch that Love is available given his upside, but his concerns could see him fall. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see a team snag him late in the first round to secure the fifth-round option though.
Jacob Eason, QB: Blessed with a rocket arm, Eason is a bit rough around the edges, but he’s fun to watch. He certainly would need to sit a year behind Philip Rivers, but the traits might be enough for the Colts to pull the trigger.
Denzel Mims, WR: Potentially a late first-round pick, Mims would be a dream selection for the Colts at No. 34. He has the skills and athleticism to be their WR1.
Tee Higgins, WR: Contested catch ability and prototypical size to work as an X-receiver, Higgins could be on the radar for the Colts, who desperately need an infusion of top-end talent in the wide receiver room.
