Chad Reuter of NFL.com<\/a> put together a very unique mock draft. Rather than selecting the top college prospects for each NFL team, he did a seven-round mock where he picked the top NFL players. His ultimate goal for each team and with each selection was to “win now.”<\/a><\/p>\n

So, how many Indianapolis Colts<\/a> players ended up being taken in Reuter’s mock draft, and where did they end up going? Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n

With quarterbacks, wide receivers, and edge rushers dominating the top of the draft, Taylor–the first Colts’ selection–was pushed down to Round 3. Taylor finished fourth in rushing yards last season and was 11th in yards per rush, according to PFF.<\/p>\n

4.104: QB Anthony Richardson (Houston)<\/p>\n

Richardson is battling Daniel Jones for the Colts’ starting job this summer. However, as Reuter wrote, Richardson’s potential and ability to impact the game through the air and on the ground makes him a high upside selection in this mock.<\/p>\n

4.109: LG Quenton Nelson (Denver)<\/p>\n

Nelson ranked 15th among all guards in pass-blocking efficiency, and he was fourth in run-blocking grade last season, per PFF. He was again a Pro Bowler and named a second-team All-Pro.<\/p>\n

Among all defensive tackles in 2024, Buckner\u00a0ranked seventh in\u00a0PFF’s pass rush win rate<\/a>, 12th in pass rush productivity, and ninth in run-stop rate. Buckner’s impact goes beyond the stat sheet as well, with the impact his presence has on his teammates around him.<\/p>\n

6.170: LT Bernhard Raimann (Green Bay)<\/p>\n

Out of 83 eligible tackles last season, Raimann ranked 24th in pass-blocking efficiency. In the run game, Raimann ranked 12th in PFF’s run-blocking<\/a>\u00a0grade.<\/p>\n

6.174: LB Zaire Franklin (Denver)<\/p>\n

Franklin led the NFL in tackles last season. He also made his first Pro Bowl and was named a second-team All-Pro. I think Franklin is one player who can really benefit<\/a> from playing in Lou Anarumo’s defensive scheme.<\/p>\n

7.204: TE Tyler Warren (Dallas)<\/p>\n

Warren brings a do-it-all skill set to the NFL level. He can impact the game as a pass-catcher, particularly over the middle, while also being versatile, able to line up across the formation, and a capable blocker. That adds a lot of flexibility to an offense.<\/p>\n
