INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts might have waited a long time to get started in the 2022 NFL Draft, but once Indianapolis got going, Chris Ballard started ticking off needs.
Two seasons after the retirement of Anthony Castonzo, the Colts might have found their left tackle of the future.
Indianapolis used the No. 77 pick — the pick they got in trading down from the No. 42 pick — to take Central Michigan tackle Bernhard Raimann, an athletic developmental tackle with all of the athleticism necessary to play the blind side.
