2021 NFL draft: Best remaining options for Colts on Day 3

Best remaining options for the Colts on Day 3.

The Indianapolis Colts are now in the final day of the 2021 NFL draft where they are slated to have four picks even though general manager Chris Ballard could very well add more to that by the end of the day.

The Colts bolstered their defensive line through the first two rounds of the draft. Their third-round pick was given to the Philadelphia Eagles as a part of the deal for quarterback Carson Wentz.

Indy added former Michigan edge rusher Kwity Paye in the first round and doubled down by adding former Vanderbilt defensive lineman Dayo Odeyingbo in the second round.

Here’s a look at the best remaining options for the Colts on Day 3 of the draft:

Which CB will the Colts come away with?

The Indianapolis Colts have plenty of positions to address during the 2021 NFL draft, which is now just over a week away. Cornerback is among the top needs on the defensive side of the ball.

Currently sitting with six picks in the draft, it is likely the Colts are going to move back from the No. 21 overall pick. We highlighted some of the trades that could go down if Indy does move back.

The Colts cornerback room isn’t a massive need. But if we’re taking a long-term view at the position, some youth could be targeted in the draft. They re-signed Xavier Rhodes and T.J. Carrie to one-year deals while Marvell Tell is expected to join the group after opting out of the 2020 season.

We already looked at wide receivers, edge rushers and offensive tackles in each round for the Colts.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Colts grab a cornerback they like on Day 2 of the draft, but here’s a look at a prospect in each round for Indy:
