The Indianapolis Colts will be holding the No. 13 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft when it arrives at the end of April with needs on both sides of the ball.
Most would argue that their biggest needs are at quarterback, wide receiver and interior defensive line. How the Colts will go about addressing their needs is always a mystery. General manager Chris Ballard likes to keep things close to the vest.
Pro Football Focus took a crack at labeling two perfect fits for the Colts in the 2020 draft. They come at the wide receiver and quarterback position.
Earlier — WR Tee Higgins, Clemson
Higgins can be what they wanted Devin Funchess to be in their offense — a receiver with a massive catch radius to move the chains. Higgins has added big-play ability, though, as he averaged nearly 20.0 yards per catch this year.
Higgins might not be the best separator, which could give the Colts pause, but his production and size could also intrigue them.
The other “perfect fit” will be just fine in the eyes of Colts fans.
Later — QB Jordan Love, Utah State
Owning the Redskins’ pick at the top of the second round is going to pay off in a big way. It could very well net them their quarterback of the future if Love’s disappointing junior campaign causes him to slip out of the first round.
By the time the draft comes around, the Colts are likely going to have to use their first-round pick if they want Love. If he’s the guy, there is no sense in waiting until the second round for him to possibly get snatched up.
