5 CBs Colts could draft to replace Stephon Gilmore

Taking a look at five CB prospects the Colts could draft to replace Stephon Gilmore.

With cornerback Stephon Gilmore headed to Dallas, the Indianapolis Colts need young talent to replace him.

Additionally, with Brandon Facyson returning to Las Vegas and Kenny Moore’s future undetermined, the team is currently fragile at the position.

All eyes turn to the 2023 NFL Draft, where the Colts have nine draft picks and three in the fifth round alone. Unsurprisingly, general manager Chris Ballard has found great value in the later rounds, including cornerback Isaiah Rodgers Sr., who also enters a contract year.

Cornerback now becomes the second-most important position for the franchise.

Here are five cornerback prospects the Colts could draft to replace Gilmore:

Colts place CB Isaiah Rodgers Sr. on IR

Colts CB Isaiah Rodgers Sr. was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday.

The Indianapolis Colts placed cornerback Isaiah Rodgers Sr. (knee) on the injured reserve list, the team announced Wednesday.

Rodgers Sr. suffered the knee injury during the third quarter of the game Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. Putting him on the injured reserve list will end his season, though it’s difficult to gauge just how severe the injury is without a further update.

Rodgers Sr. had a solid campaign for the majority of 2022. He appeared in 15 games (nine starts) while recording three passes defended and a forced fumble. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed a 68% catch rate, 7.4 yards per reception, two touchdowns and a 106.3 passer rating.

To replace Rodgers Sr. on the active roster, the Colts promoted cornerback Darrell Baker Jr. from the practice squad. They also signed cornerback David Vereen to the practice squad.

With Rodgers out, Brandon Facyson will take his role opposite Stephon Gilmore.
