With the NFL offseason here for the Indianapolis Colts, mock draft season is in full swing. So who do the draft experts have the Colts selecting in the latest edition of mock draft roundup?
What we know right now is that the Colts will hold the 14th overall pick in this April’s draft. In total, they have seven selections, one in each of the seven rounds, but when those picks in Rounds 2-7 will take place are still to be determined based on how the rest of the NFL playoffs shake out.
With GM Chris Ballard emphasizing the needed for added competition throughout the roster heading into the 2025 season, we could see free agency play a larger role for the Colts this offseason–although the word ‘larger’ is a relative term.
However, even if we see the Colts make more moves in free agency, the draft is still likely to be their main source for adding talent.
As I detailed recently, you can point to just about any position group and justify the Colts adding to it, but when it comes to their biggest needs, tight end, cornerback, and safety are at the top of that list.
Any way, here is who the experts have the Colts selecting, and as you can see, there are few names in particular that continue to pop up.
