The 2024 NFL Draft is a couple of weeks away, and the Indianapolis Colts are in the middle of it. Literally. They currently hold their own picks, No. 15 in each round, and none from trades with other teams. General manager Chris Ballard is known for draft-day deal-making, so don't be surprised if that changes the weekend of April 25-27.

Here's what the latest mock drafts forecast for the Colts. Some are multiple rounds, some just one.

Bleacher Report

Round 1, No. 15: Dallas Turner, edge rusher, Alabama

Indianapolis has never been afraid to draft smaller and more unorthodox defensive ends. After all, Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney are the franchise's all-time-leading sack-artists. The Colts can help hide a young secondary with a juiced-up pass rush.

Round 2, No. 46: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas; Round 3, No. 82: Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin

Round 1, No. 15: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa

The Colts ran zone coverage on 76.9% of their plays last season, far and away the highest rate in the league. A zone-heavy scheme perfectly fits DeJean’s skill set as an athletic, highly instinctual cornerback who is a terrific run defender.

Not to mention, the Colts need help both at cornerback and safety, and DeJean can play both.

Round 1, No. 15: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

Mitchell's performance during Senior Bowl practices backed up his quickness and ability to play the ball, which showed on film, while his combine workout potentially cemented his spot in the top half of the first round.

Round 2, No. 46: Johnny Wilson, WR, Florida State; Round 3, No. 82: Austin Booker, edge rusher, Kansas; Round 4, No. 117: Blake Watson, RB, Memphis; Round 5, No. 151: Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M.

Round No. 1, No. 15: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama

This is an easy match, right? Cornerback is the Colts' biggest need, and Arnold is my second-ranked corner. He had five interceptions last season as he developed into the Crimson Tide's top defensive back. He played a ton of press coverage in college, so he understands angles and knows how to knock receivers off their routes. He would have a chance to be Indianapolis' top CB as a rookie.

Round 2, No. 46: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon

I thought about an edge rusher for Indianapolis, but there's value in taking a second-round receiver based on the depth of the class. General manager Chris Ballard has used Day 2 picks on wideouts in each of these past two drafts (Josh Downs, Alec Pierce), but the Colts don't have a press-coverage beater like Franklin, who had 23 touchdown catches in his final two seasons at Oregon.

Round 1, No. 15: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU

A few draft analysts I really respect are high on Brian Thomas Jr., who was occasionally overshadowed by Nabers at times last season, due to no fault of his own. Thomas attacks the ball in the air, making him a great red-zone target. Putting him across from Michael Pittman Jr. gives Indianapolis a lot of size and athleticism.

Round 2, No. 46: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri; Round 3, No. 96 (via mock trade): Malik Mustapha, S, Wake Forest.

Round 1, No. 15: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas

Figuring out the Colts is a challenge in terms of which position they will address here. What we do know is that this Indy regime covets traits and trench warriors. Murphy's undersized, but the DT might be too talented for Chris Ballard to pass on.

Round 1, No. 15: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

Jared Verse put together one of the better NFL Combine showings of the edge class, which matched his on-field production the last several seasons at FSU. The combination of tape and testing all but assures his place as a top-15 draft pick. It's between Alabama's Dallas Turner and Verse to be the first nasty edge defender off the board and both the Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears are in the market for help along the defensive line. You can't go wrong with either pass rusher.

Round 1, No. 15: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Anthony Richardson has just four starts under his belt, and the Colts must remain committed to surrounding him with high-end talent. Re-signing Michael Pittman was Step 1. Continuing to develop Josh Downs is Step 2. Drafting the best TE in this year's class, who boasts incredible run-after-the-catch skills, is a monster Step 3.
