Colts add OT, S in Pro Football Network 3-round mock draft

The Indianapolis Colts are still months away from the 2022 NFL draft but with the Senior Bowl now behind us, the stock of players is coming into focus.

Without a first-round pick due to the Carson Wentz trade, the Colts won’t be on the clock until No. 47 overall. Where they go when they are on the clock is likely to remain a mystery even up until the selection.

In the latest three-round mock draft from Dalton Miller of Pro Football Network, the Colts added to a pair of major needs.

At No. 47 overall, the Colts added former UCLA offensive tackle Sean Rhyan. Given the massive hole at left tackle, it wouldn’t be a shock at all if the Colts used one of their early picks at the position.

Here is a quick snippet on Rhyan from the Pro Football Focus 2022 draft guide:

Rhyan is a physical run-blocker who currently plays tackle for UCLA but likely profiles best to guard in the NFL. He took a massive step forward in 2021, with his overall grade going from 73.9 to 83.7.

With the No. 82 overall pick in this mock draft, the Colts added to the safety position by selecting former Oregon safety Verone McKinley III.

The safety position is one of need for the Colts but with Gus Bradley taking over as defensive coordinator, the position becomes even more of a need given his knack for single-high and three-safety packages.

According to Pro Football Focus, McKinley was used mostly as a deep safety but spent some time in the box as well with Oregon. He recorded 11 interceptions in the last three seasons.
