INDIANAPOLIS — Decisions, decisions...
For many of us football fanatics, who our chosen NFL teams will pick throughout the NFL Draft process can be a constant source of wonderment.
Along those same lines, today we're beginning the 2020 edition of an annual series in which we take the week to identify who some of the most suitable targets in the NFL Draft for the Indianapolis Colts may be, round by round.
Of course, the Colts no longer have a first-round selection in the upcoming draft after recently sending the No. 13-overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for All-Pro defensive lineman DeForest Buckner. However, the Colts do still have plenty of draft capital, including three picks within the top 75, which could help them trade back up into the first round if any certain prospects began sliding down the draft board and were within their reach.
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 or sliding, along with 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.
Let's start by identifying which draft picks the Colts have and what point value those picks carry, according to the NFL Draft Trade Value Chart. Afterward, we'll explore where the Colts may be able to trade up to if they would like, based on the value chart as well as what those draft picks have cost via trade over the last five years.
