The Indianapolis Colts are officially one week away from being on the clock for the 2020 NFL draft, which is going into a completely virtual format on April 23.
There are so many ways the Colts can go about the draft that it’s nearly impossible to predict perfectly what their draft haul will look like. Still, we can conduct some mock drafts with certain scenarios to see how it might shake out for the Colts.
Using the No. 34 pick on a quarterback and using Pro Football Network’s mock draft simulator, here’s a seven-round mock draft a week out:
No. 34 | Jacob Eason | QB | Washington
In this mock draft, we went with the early quarterback to see what the rest of the haul might look like. With four quarterbacks gone in the first round, we went with Eason, who is a high-upside prospect that needs some work done during his first season.
Being able to sit behind Philip Rivers for a season and learn under Frank Reich will do wonders for Eason. He has a big arm, a great frame and the arm talent to make every throw in the book. But he needs to work on handling pressure and hone his instincts, which would be possible with the minds of Reich and Rives.
Eason is far from a perfect prospect and work would have to be done, but he has a high ceiling and with enough push from the quarterback room, he could turn into a solid quarterback.
