4. Indianapolis Colts trade up for OT Penei Sewell

The Dallas Cowboys are sitting nice at the 10th overall pick right now.

Because of the number of quarterbacks (possibly five) that could go ahead of them along with the number of pass-catchers (possibly three), they could be in a position to sell their pick to the highest bidder for one of the top two offensive tackles in this year’s class — Rashawn Slater or Penei Sewell.

Although the hype has been building for months, it’s becoming clearer by the day that Rashawn Slater has a chance to be the first offensive tackle off the board.

If that happens within the top-9 picks, the Cowboys’ spot at 10 overall could be a hotspot for some team needing a tackle to trade up for Penei Sewell.

That team could be the ever-aggressive Indianapolis Colts, who have already traded multiple picks to get players like DeForest Buckner and Carson Wentz in the building.

Bringing in a guy like Wentz, the Colts would be fools not to try and solidify the left tackle position, and if Sewell falls out of the top nine picks, they should be doing what it takes to go get him.
