Breakdown of Colts’ picks in 5-round NFL.com mock draft

In a new five-round mock draft from Chad Rueter of NFL.com, he has the Indianapolis Colts wasting no time as they tackle their biggest needs right away, although one pressing need is not addressed at all in the draft.

The Colts currently hold seven picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, with only four teams having fewer. In terms of total draft capital value, they rank 21st in that category.

Much of free agency for the Colts was spent re-signing their own players, with continuity on both sides of the ball going to be a key factor in them making their way back to the playoffs. However, as is the case with every team, there are needs that still persist, including at cornerback, safety, wide receiver, and edge rusher.
