Which prospects might the Colts move up for?

CeeDee Lamb | WR | Oklahoma

This is a stretch and highly unlikely to happen. Lamb is arguably WR1 in this draft and should have no business leaving the top 15. However, the draft is always unpredictable and this year’s draft should be even more so given the fact that it will be fully virtual and done in the homes of each decision-maker. Players fall for no reason sometimes and if it happens this year, teams will be much more hesitant to take a risk.

If Lamb somehow gets into the range that the Colts can move up, it would be difficult for them to not consider it. Lamb brings everything needed to carry an offense from the wide receiver position. He’s an X-receiver who has often been compared to DeAndre Hopkins. Not only does he win with a diverse route tree, but he is also electric with the ball in his hands and one of the best receivers after the catch.

Moving up for Lamb would certainly take a haul. The Colts wouldn’t be able to wait until the mid-late 20s for Lamb. He’d be gone by then. But with a win-now mentality and a quarterback who likes to sling it, it has to be in consideration for the Colts.
