Though the NFL Combine is just getting here in a week, the Indianapolis Colts are already running through their list of prospects on the big board ahead of the 2020 NFL draft.
There will be a lot of changes to the draft stock of several players between now and April 23. However, that isn’t keeping the mock drafts from flowing freely out on the interwebs.

Our friends over at Draft Wire conducted a four-round mock draft, in which the Colts have five selections. Here’s how it looks:
No. 13 | Jordan Love | QB | Utah State
“This may seem early for Love, but after a solid week at the Senior Bowl, he just might be the clear-cut QB4 in this year’s class. That being the case, don’t be surprised if a team like the Colts pulls the trigger to make sure they land him. Jacoby Brissett would be a solid bridge option while Love smooths out the rough edges in his game.” – Luke Easterling, Draft Wire
No. 34 (from WAS) | Justin Jefferson | WR | LSU
After getting their potential future quarterback in Love, the Colts went with Jefferson to beef up the wide receiver room. While there are plenty of debates as to whether Jefferson is the best fit for the Colts, there some intriguing aspects. He’s shown sticky hands and contested-catch ability. His speed overall might be a bit of a concern and there are questions whether he will be able to carry the WR1 role.
No. 44 | Neville Gallimore | DL | Oklahoma
Adding to the interior defensive line is one of the biggest needs for the Colts this offseason. Getting Gallimore at No. 44 might be a steal given what he could bring to the Colts defensive line. Likely best suited for the one-technique, Gallimore has penetrating traits that could work extremely well in the Colts’ one-gap front.
No. 75 | Josh Uche | EDGE | Michigan
Uche brings a lot of upside to the Colts in the third round here. A strong run defender and bendy edge rusher, the Colts would be able to work him in behind Justin Houston, Kemoko Turay and Ben Banogu. He didn’t have the best production at Michigan, but there is plenty to like about Uche in the third round.
No. 112 | Lavert Hill | CB | Michigan
With Pierre Desir regressing in 2019 and the Colts needing more depth in the cornerback room, Hill would be a project in the secondary. He’s shown an ability to be strong in press coverage, which is a trait that has been increasingly common in the cornerbacks the Colts have drafted.
