According to ESPN Peter Schrager’s one and only mock draft of the season, the Indianapolis Colts will trade up to select Michigan’s Colston Loveland with the acquired 10th overall pick from the Chicago Bears:
10. Indianapolis Colts (via projected trade with CHI)
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
GM Chris Ballard & Co. get a 6-foot-6 tight end who has many teams enchanted ahead of Round 1. This pick would be about instant offense for a team that needs it.
For what it’s worth, Colts longtime general manager Chris Ballard has not traded up in the first round during any of his prior 8 draft classes.
