The Indianapolis Colts are ready to enter the 2023 NFL draft with a massive need to add to the cornerback position.
After trading away Stephon Gilmore to the Dallas Cowboys, the room is extremely thin. Kenny Moore II and Isaiah Rodgers Sr. are currently the projected starters, but they are both in a contract year. 2022 undrafted free agent Dallis Flowers is currently third on the depth chart.
Fortunately for the Colts, this draft is littered with talent at the cornerback position. It wouldn’t be a surprise at all if they used two of their picks to add depth and competition to the room.

It would be best to avoid adding to the room on Day 2 if they can, and there are some promising Day 3 prospects to consider. But using a Day 2 pick on a linebacker would seem a bit luxurious unless the prospect is far and away the highest-rated player on their board.
As we break down the prospects by round, think of the “rounds” as tiers and when I believe the team should begin to consider drafting them.
We also created big boards at the following positions:
| Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends | Interior OL | Offensive Tackles |
| Defensive Tackles | Edge Rushers | Linebackers | Cornerbacks | Safeties |
