Ryan Kang/Getty ImagesThe Colts have a solid receiver trio in Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs and Alec Pierce. However, they could use more at the position, and if one of the top wideouts—Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr., LSU's Malik Nabers or Washington's Rome Odunze—starts to slide, the Indy could make its move.
If the Colts stay put, however, they could be inclined to take the best value available. That may be on defense, even if general manager Chris Ballard is eager to aid Richardson. That's what happened in the latest Bleacher Report Scouting Department mock draft, where Indy got paired with Alabama pass-rusher Dallas Turner.
"Colts general manager Chris Ballard loves drafting elite athletes in general, especially when it comes to pass-rushers. Turner fits that description to a 'T' with his 8.85 RAS and 34⅜-inch arms."
It's not an obvious pick, but Turner—the 12th-ranked prospect on the B/R Scouting Department's draft board—would provide value at No. 15. Reaching for a wide receiver wouldn't be advisable, given the overall depth at the position, and while the Colts tallied 51 sacks last season, they lack an elite edge-rusher.
Turner has the potential to be exactly that, and in a division that features Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Stroud, it won't hurt to improve the pass rush.
