We’re now in Day 2 of the 2020 NFL draft and this is the time for the Indianapolis Colts to build their roster. As many fans know, Chris Ballard has hit on his fair share of second-round draft picks, he has had eight in his first three drafts with the Colts, and tonight he has two—picks No. 34 and 44.
With how the board has fallen, there are a lot of good safeties and wide receivers still available for the Colts. There could be a possibility they trade out of either their No. 34 or 44 picks and even if they do, the Colts will be making selections on Friday.
Here are a five prospects the Colts must target on Day 2 of the draft:
Michael Pittman Jr. | WR | USC
A lot of chatter leading up to the draft has had the Colts selecting Pittman Jr. out of USC with the 34th overall pick. After a slew of wide receivers were taken in the late first round, Pittman slipped through the cracks and will be there for the Colts to select at No. 34 if they want a wide receiver at that pick.
Pittman is that big body wide receiver (6’4″ 223 pounds) that Philip Rivers will enjoy throwing to. He exploded at the combine running a 4.52 forty, as well as jumping a 36.5 vertical jump. Big, smart, and reliable, Pittman falls into the “possession receiver” bin but has top-notch ball skills that allow him to bully and best cornerbacks down the field.
