The Indianapolis Colts have concluded the 2020 NFL draft and will be looking to fill out the 90-man roster with some undrafted rookie free agents this weekend.

Eventually, though, the Colts will have to trim their rosters down to 53 players—the final year before rosters expand to 55. A lot will happen over the coming months that will change the perception of the roster and the depth chart, and yes it is far too early to truly know what the final product will look like in September.
With all that said, here is a way-too-early roster prediction for the 2020 Colts:
QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | CB | SAF | ST
Quarterback (3)
| QB1 | QB2 | QB3 |
| Philip Rivers | Jacoby Brissett | Jacob Eason* |
Analysis: After Brissett’s disappointing 2019 campaign, the Colts set out to change up the quarterback room. They did so in a big way adding a player in both free agency and the draft. Rivers will be the starter after signing a one-year, $25 million deal in free agency. There are no questions about that, and there’s even a chance he extends his stay past 2020. The Colts still say they value Brissett despite their actions showing otherwise. It’s unlikely he’s traded so he’ll carry a $21.3 million cap hit to not see the field. Eason was drafted in the fourth round and will battle it out with Chad Kelly for the QB3 spot, but his arm talent his far superior and seeing as the Colts wouldn’t be able to put him on the practice squad, they carry three quarterbacks here.
Notable cuts: Chad Kelly
