*No. 55 (from BAL) | Michael Pittman Jr. | WR | USC
It is highly likely the Colts will trade back at some point during the draft. With seven picks, Chris Ballard is going to want to add more. So in this mock, we traded back from No. 44 to No. 55 while also adding the No. 106 from Baltimore. Even so, Pittman was still available making this a win-win.
Pittman is the perfect fit for the Colts. He’s a boundary wide receiver working from as an X. He’s not going to win with long speed but he’s a very strong high-point wide receiver and will win contested catches constantly. He has pluck hands that never fail and would be a perfect target for Rivers.
Pittman has the ability to fit immediately into the Colts’ offense as the X-receiver and should be high on their priority list.
