No. 44 | Tee Higgins | WR | Clemson
In any other year, Higgins would arguably be a late-first round pick and one of the top five receivers in the draft, but this is a very deep receiver class so Higgins could fall as he did here. At 44, the Colts could go a lot of ways but they desperately need play-making outside at receiver with the Funchess experiment failing, and with T.Y. Hilton getting up there in age.
The Higgins pick would be an immediate impact Day 1 for the Colts. Rivers has thrived his whole career with big-body receivers, Mike Williams, Kennan Allen, Vincent Jackson, so the Colts should go for the 6-foot-4, 215-pound receiver out of Clemson here. Higgins isn’t the most explosive or dynamic athlete, but he has a huge catch radius and can high point the ball better than any other receiver in this draft.
