The No. 13 pick

Tying into the quarterback decision that Ballard has to make, the first-round pick for the Colts will be a very impactful choice on the immediate future. There are several ways they can go about making this decision.

The two most obvious (and most likely) come at the quarterback position and the defensive line. If Ballard likes one of the quarterbacks in the draft, he could use the No. 13 pick there. But, there is also a chance he uses that draft capital on a pass rusher like Javon Kinlaw or Derrick Brown, especially seeing how much help they need on the interior.

It is unlikely Ballard goes with a wide receiver—that doesn’t seem to be his M.O., and it isn’t clear if they want to add a defensive back at that point either. Regardless, this will be a very difficult decision leading up to the moment he makes the pick.
