There are a number of ways the Indianapolis Colts can go about making their selections in the 2020 NFL Draft and even though we are still months away, the mock drafts are out in full force.
Following the National Championship game between the LSU Tigers and Clemson Tigers, our friends over at Draft Wire conducted a four-round mock draft. With it came a new quarterback and wide receiver duo for the Colts.
13. Indianapolis Colts
Jordan Love | QB | Utah State
Jacoby Brissett had his moments, but the Colts need to find a quarterback of the future with a higher ceiling. This may seem early for Love, but if he impresses at the Senior Bowl, he could easily lock himself into the top-15 conversation. He regressed statistically in 2019, but he’s got all the tools to develop into a franchise passer.
Love may have regressed during the 2019 season, but he did have to deal with a new offensive coordinator. If the Colts want to make him the pick, they are likely going to have to spend their first-rounder on him given the upside of his traits as passer.
As for the other part of the equation in the quarterback-wide receiver duo? The Colts wound up using their first of two second-round picks on LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Jefferson, a speedy slot wide receiver with good size and electric movement after the catch, would be a nice addition to a wide receiver corps that needs some early-round investments.
Following the first two picks in the mock draft, the Colts focused on the defensive side of the ball. With their three remaining picks in the mock, the Colts selected Oklahoma defensive tackle Neville Gallimore, Syracuse EDGE Alton Robinson and Notre Dame safety Alohi Gilman, respectively.
Here’s how the four-round mock draft ended up:
- Round 1 (No. 13): Utah QB Jordan Love
- Round 2 (No. 34): LSU WR Justin Jefferson
- Round 2 (No. 44): Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore
- Round 3 (No. 75): Syracuse EDGE Alton Robinson
- Round 4 (No. 112): Notre Dame S Alohi Gilman
