No. 122 | James Morgan | QB | FIU
Most probably want the Colts to address the quarterback position earlier in the draft. They very well may do so. On Day 2 of this simulation, Jacob Eason and Jalen Hurts were still available, but the Colts seem to have plenty of interest in Morgan as a developmental prospect.

With a strong frame, a big arm and the desire to look downfield, Morgan is an interesting prospect for the Colts. Add in the fact that he’s been lauded for his off-field demeanor and leadership skills, and he becomes more of a Colts-type prospect. Morgan isn’t the best prospect in this quarterback class. He has issues with processing and footwork—two major areas Frank Reich looks at in quarterbacks.
But Morgan also has plenty of traits that could intrigue the Colts on Day 3. Working behind Philip Rivers for at least a season and under Reich as the head coach, there is reason to believe Morgan would improve if drafted by Indy.
