With some additions made to the defensive side of the ball, the Indianapolis Colts are likely looking at some offensive pieces in the upcoming 2020 NFL draft.
With needs at wide receiver, tight end and depth along the offensive line, there is a chance that the Colts take advantage of some of these positions with some of their Day 2 picks.
In the latest three-round mock draft from Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports, that’s exactly what the Colts did. Here’s a look at what the haul was:
34. Brandon Aiyuk | WR | Arizona State
“After trading their first-rounder for DeForest Buckner, the Colts circle back at the top of the second round to get one of the most explosive wideouts in this draft. Aiyuk is a four-down player who is only going to get better with experience.” – Ryan Wilson
Aiyuk would be a great fit for the Colts offense. He could work both in the slot and on the outside while giving them an explosive and vertical threat for Philip Rivers. There are concerns about beating press coverage, but the Colts could use his skill set from Day 1.
44. Robert Hunt | OL | Louisiana-Lafayette
“The Colts offense is strong up front, but the depth behind the starting unit is suspect. That’s where Hunt comes in.” – Ryan Wilson
The Colts have their starting five on the front line, but depth is needed. Hunt has areas to develop and it isn’t clear where he would primarily work in terms of on the edge or the interior, but there are plenty of traits to intrigue the Colts.
75. Cole Kmet | TE | Notre Dame
“The Colts said goodbye to Eric Ebron, but they’ll have options to fill that void on Day 2 or possibly later. Here, they pick up arguably the top tight end in the class.” – Ryan Wilson
Kmet has the size and speed to be a mismatch for the Colts. He can work best as a receiving tight end while his blocking develops—hopefully with some help from Jack Doyle. The Colts love to use tight ends and there is a chance they look to invest in the position on Day 2, though most would likely expect Chris Ballard to wait.
