The Colts aren't going to take a tight end in the first round, OK? Stop it!

They invited just one to their building on a Top 30 visit, Mason Taylor, and so I have them waiting until the second round to take Taylor, the son of former Dolphins Hall of Famer, Jason Taylor.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if the traits-pilled Chris Ballard opts for Miami's Elijah Arroyo instead.

But that brings me to their first selection, which echoes their offseason decision-making. Things seem to be afoot in Indianapolis, as in the decision-making has veered away from the traditional Ballard ways of yore and appears to be more urgent and needs-focused than the usual high-upside swings on traits.

Josh Simmons is only available at 14 overall because of an injury sustained during the 2024 season. He's a Top 5 talent in the draft when healthy, and the Colts would be wise to address tackle this year instead of next, when current OTs Braden Smith and Bernhard Raimann are unrestricted free agents.

Then, in the third round, I have the Colts going back to the Ballard well to draft Sai'vion Jones, a younger defensive prospect who Dane Brugler notes has a "terrific blend of height, weight, and length" who can line up across the D-line and pressure the quarterback.
