Pros and cons of Colts selecting TE with their first pick

Taking a look at the pros and cons of Indy selecting a TE at No. 42 overall.

We are now less than two weeks away from the 2022 NFL draft and finding out which latest crop of young talent will be starting their career with the Indianapolis Colts.

General manager Chris Ballard has addressed depth concerns at the safety position while signing veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore over the last week which is twiddling down the positions of concern on the roster.

Head coach Frank Reich loves to utilize tight ends within his offensive scheme and the position has had a lot of success over the recent years outside of the most recent one.

Jack Doyle retired earlier this offseason, Mo Alie-Cox is staying put after signing a three-year extension and Kylen Granson still has to prove himself.

For a team that needs more out of the passing attack, it should be considered to select one when they are first on the clock. I take a look at the pros and cons if the front office chooses a tight end at pick No. 42 overall:
