Potential targets for Colts on first days of draft: Offensive line
The first thing you need to know is this: The 2021 class of offensive tackles is deep. Mariana Trench deep. Some draft analysts believe there are between 12-15 tackles worthy of a pick in the first two days (Rounds 1-3, 105 picks; the most selected is 12 in 2018 and 2019). And that’s great news for general manager Chris Ballard and his Indianapolis Colts because not only do they have a need to fill, but the depth of the class gives them options for how to fill it.
If they want to draft retiree Anthony Castonzo’s replacement at No. 21, they can do that. There are a small handful of prospects likely to still be on the board at No. 21 who will be worthy of that high draft stock.
