Best Available Players on Day 2

With 2 QB picks and a run on Offensive Line in Round 1, there are plenty of players that are available in Round 2 that could fit the Colts if they fall to pick 47. Which players could be the next Colts on Day 2 of the Draft

Wide Receivers

1. Denzel Boston, Washington
2. Skyler Bell, Connecticut
3. Ted Hurst, Georgia State
4. Chris Brazzell II, Tennessee
5. De’Zhaun Stribling, Ole Miss
6. Chris Bell, Louisville
7. Elijah Sarratt, Indiana
8. Germie Bernard, Alabama

Boston is a surprise fall outside of Round 1, as he was a consensus Top 5 WR in the class who was expected to go in the 20s. Boston likely goes early in Round 2 with plenty of Wide Receiver needy teams in the Draft.

Still the Colts have a good shot to have a solid Wide Receiver prospect fall to them at 47 with the depth of talent in this class. Practically any of the top 8 remaining wouldn’t be considered much of a reach, if at all. All of them can play outside as well at the Z position, so there is a lot of natural successors to Michael Pittman Jr. in the starting line up if the Colts opt to invest early in the position.

Linebackers

1. CJ Allen, Georgia
2. Jake Golday, Cincinnati
3. Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech
4. Anthony Hill Jr., Texas
5. Kyle Louis, Pitt
6. Josiah Trotter, Missouri

Only 2 off ball linebackers went in Round 1 and both were the sharpie’d in Ohio State ‘backers in Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese. Good news for the Colts that have only Akeem Davis-Gaither as a potential starter (and he was predominantly a backup previously), there are a wealth of options for the Colts after a near ideal draft for them that they could’ve expected at the position in Round 1.

There is a good chance the top 3-4 could be taken before pick 47, so the Colts could pivot to the latter two or wait on the position for other players.

Edge Rushers

1. TJ Parker, Clemson
2. Gabe Jacas, Illinois
3. Zion Young, Missouri
4. Cashius Howell, Texas A&M
5. R Mason Thomas, Oklahoma
6. Derrick Moore, Michigan
7. Jaishawn Barnham, Michigan
8. Joshua Josephs, Tennessee
9. Dannie Dennis-Sutton, Penn State

There is a nice depth remaining at Edge Rusher with TJ Parker falling out of Round 1. Everyone else was expected to be available at this point in the draft, but there is still a good amount of DEs left in the class.

Still the DE class could starts to dry up quickly after this list, so teams could prioritize the premium position in Round 2.

Cornerbacks

1. D’Angelo Ponds, Indiana
2. Avieon Terrell, Clemson
3. Colton Hood, Tennessee
4. Jermond McCoy, Tennessee
5. Brandon Cisse, South Carolina
6. Bud Clark, TCU
7. Treydan Stukes, Arizona
8. Keith Abney II, Arizona State
9. Keionte Scott, Miami
10. Chandler Rivers, Duke

Only 2 Corners went in Round 1 with Mansoor Delane and Chris Johnson going on Day 1. Ponds, Terrell, and McCoy pre-injury update were thought to be Round 1 players, so there is a strong depth available to start Day 2.

Plenty of them could slide into the slot to get a successor to Kenny Moore II, from Ponds and Terrell to everyone at 5 through 10 on the list. If the Colts are already planning for life without Kenny, Colts have a lot of options.
