The staff at Horseshoe Huddle gives their predictions as to what will happen for the Indianapolis Colts tonight in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
fans, this year's selection process is a true mystery. Last year, everyone knew that a quarterback would be the pick in the first round, which ultimately became Anthony Richardson. This year, who knows? The positions that the Colts need most are rich in talent in the first round, so anything could happen.Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
The cornerback room on this team isn’t deep enough to not take one in the first round. If GM Chris Ballard doesn’t want to sign a corner in free agency, then drafting Quinyon Mitchell is the next best option. Mitchell scored a 9.75 out of 10 on the RAS test during the Combine, placing himself in the top 3% of all corners since 1987. Not only is he an incredible athlete, the corner won back-to-back MAC championships while earning places on multiple All-American teams.
I think the Colts would feel entirely comfortable picking up an extra pick or two in a trade-down, but in my mind, it comes down to two players who have a chance to be available and could convince them to reject any pending trade offers, stay at 15, and make a selection. I think these two players are Dallas Turner and Brock Bowers.
I've been pretty tortured over this one due to the likelihood that someone like Brock Bowers or Dallas Turner falls to 15, but ultimately I think the Colts value their draft picks . With that being the case, the Colts should have a group of players they like at 15, so they trade back just far enough here so they can still take someone from the group while also getting a couple of extra picks. Brian Thomas Jr.
The dream for the Colts would be for Brock Bowers to fall to 15, where Indy would run up the card to add him to Shane Steichen’s offense as a weapon for Anthony Richardson. While the dream is not dead, the more realistic option is the Colts trading back to the early 20s and grabbing a wide receiver. Ultimately, I see thetrading up with the Colts to grab a cornerback and Indy selecting Xavier Worthy, the speedster out of Texas, at No.22.
