Colts add CB, OT in mock draft from The Athletic

The offseason has arrived for the Indianapolis Colts and many are wondering what the Indianapolis Colts are going to do with their early picks in the 2021 NFL draft.

While the Colts themselves don’t even know yet as they continue through the draft process of scouting and building their big board, the mock drafts are giving plenty of suggestions as to who might be a fit for Indy in April.

In the latest mock draft from Dane Brugler of The Athletic, the Colts added a cornerback at pick No. 21 and an offensive tackle at pick No. 54.

21. Indianapolis Colts — Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia

One of the most intriguing defensive prospects in the draft, Campbell, who was high school teammates with Surtain, doesn’t always play confident, but his size and athleticism are first-round worthy. At 6-foot-2, he has outstanding length and moves like a much smaller player.

Adding to the cornerback room will be a must this offseason for the Colts. The seem to be letting Xavier Rhodes test free agency while Rock Ya-Sin will have a lot to prove as a starter on the boundary in 2021.

They have Kenny Moore in place but this will be a position the Colts must address in some way this offseason.

Coming back around in the second round, the Colts went with offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood out of Alabama with the No. 54 overall pick.

Finding a left tackle was a need before Anthony Castonzo announced his retirement but now the Colts need to find someone who can immediately step in to protect the blindside of whoever is under center. This could be a position the Colts address earlier if the right prospect falls to them at No. 21.
