INDIANAPOLIS — With just 2 1/2 weeks standing between the NFL world and the 2019 Draft, it's time to zero in on many of the options that might be available throughout the draft.
This week, we'll break down options by round, starting today with the first round, which will take part on Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. ET.
These aren’t the only good options that may be available to the Colts — unexpected players slide every year — but these players are those that I’ve weighed the likelihood of being available along with what position groups the Colts may need most, and how these players specifically fit what the Colts normally look for. There are also players that teams will sometimes bend their positional standards to accommodate if they feel that player is special.
The Colts are slated to pick 26th in the first round this year rather than sixth like last year, so there are way more possibilities, which is why I'm presenting 15 options. For example, there are usually only going to be a small handful of players worthy of being selected at No. 6, while the discrepancy in talent between players isn’t as big when you get around near the end of the first round where the Colts sit.
*The following players are listed alphabetically.
