The Indianapolis Colts are just a few weeks out from the 2020 NFL draft, which is still scheduled for the final week in April.
As the draft approaches, there are many ways the Colts can go about selecting their prospects. Without a first-round pick, Indy won’t be on the clock until the No. 34 selection. What direction they will go with that is anyone’s guess.
Our friends over at Draft Wire conducted a three-round mock draft. Here are the results for the Colts in the latest simulation:
No. 34 | Jacob Eason | QB | Washington
The Colts stayed put at the No. 34 pick and selected a high-upside quarterback prospect with a big arm. There is a lot to like about Eason’s game, enough to make him a projectable prospect learning under the ranks of Philip Rivers and Frank Reich.
Eason has a big arm and plenty of areas to improve upon, but he has a high ceiling and with some time to develop under Rivers and Reich, there would be plenty of optimism in this selection.
No. 44 | Laviska Shenault Jr. | WR | Colorado
This would be a major steal for the Colts if they were able to get Shenault at No. 44. The only concerns being a core muscle injury he suffered during the NFL combine and with that, he still ran a 4.58 at 6-foot-1, 227 pounds.
Shenault is a true X-receiver and would fill a big need for the Colts as their future WR1. He brings a solid blend of size, speed and ability to beat the press makes him an excellent prospect for the Colts. The only worry is that he’s likely to go in the first round of the draft.
No. 75 | Bradlee Anae | EDGE | Utah
A high motor with the ability to set the edge as a 4-3 base defensive end, Anae is an interesting prospect for the Colts. He brings plenty of juice out his stance and finds ways to get upfield quickly, which would be a strong fit for the Colts’ attacking front.
Anae would likely fall into the rotation behind Kemoko Turay and Justin Hosuton on the egde.
