The Colts sit at No. 26 -- at the moment -- and while they may not be in line for a top-10 talent, there is certainly some great options at the bottom of the first round. Today, we’ll take a look at the SB Nation mock draft which incorporates a representative from each of the NFL sites tasked with making their team’s selection. Our own Brett Mock takes his shot on the talent that he feels best fits the Colts’ needs for the long-term, as well as a talent-focused approach in hopes of making the team’s first pick shine going forward.We’ll look at each pick leading up to Brett’s decision, then analyze the pick from both an optimistic and pessimistic aspect. Additionally, the Colts’ 2019 schedule was revealed Wednesday night. We knew their opponents, but how those teams fall on their schedule, the team’s bye week Josh Ferguson Jersey , home and road games, and how the time slots fall will all be critical to the Colts’ success in the upcoming season. This could be a very interesting year with Frank Reich attempting to bypass any sophomore slump with his gameplanning, the roster dodging any serious injuries, meshing new additions with veterans and getting the most out of their youth as they did in 2018.We’ve got a lot to discuss, and the opinions are sure to lay at both ends of the spectrum for both of our main topics for today’s show.Please subscribe, rate and review the channel anywhere you listen to podcasts.Follow our hosts on Twitter: @MDanelySB | @HolderStephen | @TheStable_PodStampede Blue Podcast Links:Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Megaphone | SB Colts Cast YT Channel | Google | Spotify The Colts suffered from a considerable drop-off in production from receivers when leaving out Hilton and Ebron, so the need for a #2 receiver is evident." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteStampede Bluean Indianapolis Colts communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsColtsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Colts StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Colts NewsYahoo Colts Team PageYahoo Colts ReportYahoo Colts Depth ChartYahoo Colts TransactionsYahoo Colts PhotosShop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Why the Colts need to invest in a receiver early in the 2019 DraftNew,167commentsThe Colts suffered from a considerable drop-off in production from receivers when leaving out Hilton and Ebron, so the need for a #2 receiver is evident.EDTShareTweetShareShareWhy the Colts need to invest in a receiver early in the 2019 DraftPhoto by Peter Aiken/Getty ImagesThere is a common misconception that the Colts are already set at receiver. After signing Devin Funchess, and with Deon Cain back from injury T.J. Green Color Rush Jersey , wide receiver is not considered a main need for Indy. However, taking a look at the numbers, there is a clear need for another weapon on the passing game to complement T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron. Colts Receivers#1 OptionsReceptionsTargetsCompletion%YardsYPATouchdownsTD Rate#1 OptionsReceptionsTargetsCompletion%YardsYPATouchdownsTD Rate*Inman is still a free-agent.#1 options are players with more than 100 targets, #2 options are player with more than 30The Colts have also failed to resign Dontrelle Inman thus far, and he was a key component down the stretch for the Colts passing offense, developing a nice connection with Andrew Luck.While Funchess can help solve many of the Colts issues’ and Deon Cain could become a valuable piece of the Colts passing attack, a true Super Bowl contender should not rely on areceiver that struggled with drops throughout his career and another one who has not played a down in the NFL and is coming off a torn ACL.This is why the Colts should select a wide receiver, or two, early in the 2019 NFL Draft. Perhaps not with the first pick, but there are plenty of options in every round. If the Colts give Andrew Luck a solid complement of weapons https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Matthias-Farley-Jersey , he could improve his level drastically and could very well torch the League with Pat Mahomes-type numbers.There are plenty of receivers in the draft that would be ideal fits for whatever the Colts want to do. Want a speedy receiver that can take the top off defenses next to T.Y? You have Parris Campbell, Mecole Hardman, Terry McLaurin, or Marquise Brown. Want to take a big, physical receiver that can help out Luck in the red-zone? Then you have N’Keal Harry, Kelvin Harmon, Myles Boykin, or Hakeem Butler. There are also some great slot receivers that should be available in the later rounds, like Penny Hart or Hunter Renfrow.While pass rushers and secondary help might seem like more pressing needs, let’s not forget that during the first 6 weeks Christine Michael Sr Jersey , where the Colts went 1-5, one of the main issues was the drops of the receivers. Even though Luck can make any wideout look at least average, surrounding him with top tier talent would push the Colts offense to the next level. Additionally, an explosive passing offense would also open up plenty of holes for the running game. If the Colts put Hilton,Ebron, and another blue-chip prospect on the field, then opposing defenses will be unable to stack the box.In conclusion, I thinkthe Colts have to draft a receiver in the early rounds and could also take another one in the later ones, as it will push the offense to a different level and will result in Andrew Luck being a serious contender for the MVP award.
