Here is a 2022 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Indianapolis Colts:

Round 2 (No. 53 overall, from Raiders through Packers and Vikings) - Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati: GM Chris Ballard gives new QB Matt Ryan a nice alternative to WR Michael Pittman Jr. Pierce provides tremendous size (6-3, 211 pounds), speed (4.4-second 40-yard dash) and intelligence – he studied mechanical engineering – a combination that should earn him immediate snaps if not Indy's WR2 post.

Round 3 (73, from Commanders) - Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia: He's 6-7, 259 pounds and has 4.6 speed. Woods had 44 grabs for 598 yards last season, but will also block. Could take over for retired Jack Doyle. Draft tracker

Round 3 (77, from Vikings) - Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan: Indianapolis turns to the Austrian exchange student as its new blind side protector for Ryan. Draft tracker
