WR Christian Watson named best fit for Colts

The Indianapolis Colts have a number of strategies they can go about applying their picks in the 2022 NFL draft and many be expecting them to commit early in the extensive receiver posture.

While the Colts don’t have a 1st-round choose due to the fact of the Carson Wentz trade from last offseason, they will be on the board for the first time at No. 42 in general.

ESPN’s Jordan Reid recommended the best match for the Colts at that location will be extensive receiver Christian Watson out of North Dakota Condition.

Very best prospect match at No. 42: Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota Condition. Watson has checked every box throughout the pre-draft procedure and has risen up boards immediately after his overall performance at the Senior Bowl and combine, where by he ran a 4.36-second 40-yard sprint at 6-foot-4, 208 lbs .. He could be a building block next to Pittman for Indianapolis. The former FCS standout meets numerous of the thresholds general supervisor Chris Ballard requires and could assist Ryan in 12 months 1. — Reid

Watson checks a good deal of the packing containers for the Colts. He might be a minor more mature for a prospect but age in no way seriously would seem to be too a great deal of an difficulty with Chris Ballard.

Watson would carry an component of sizing and speed that would operate properly with the arrival of Matt Ryan. The Colts have a huge require to carry aid at huge receiver even if they are much more bullish on the home than other people.

The issue will be irrespective of whether Watson is even readily available. Provided his athletic profile, groups may perhaps want to just take a chance on him late in the first or early in the second spherical. So the Colts may perhaps not even get a probability to draft him.

But if Watson is there at No. 42 all round, the Colts will have a huge choice to make.
