Indianapolis Colts 2022 Mock Draft: Who Replaces Carson Wentz?

Round 4, Pick 120: CB Coby Bryant (Cincinnati)

Coby Bryant being available at 120 feels like highway robbery. He is a bit slower than others in this class, but the 4.5 speed will more than hold up in zone-heavy schemes. New Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley likes to be aggressive with his corners, so Bryant will need to continue improving his man-to-man capability, but he is an immediate contributor to this roster.

Round 5, Pick 158: TE Jelani Woods (Virginia)

Jelani Woods was another breakout star in Indianapolis. He ran like a gazelle in the 40-yard dash with his crazy long strides. Woods never had an elite season at the collegiate level, so some projecting and betting on the traits is at play here. The Indianapolis Colts recently lost Jack Doyle to retirement, and it is unsure if the team will bring Mo Allie-Cox back. Even if they do, Woods would be a great addition to Allie-Cox and Granson.

Round 5, Pick 177: LB/S Sterling Weatherford (Miami OH)

Sterling Weatherford is a sleeper that is not getting near enough attention. He has been a safety for a majority of his life, but is making the transition to linebacker at the next level.

This positional flexibility gives Gus Bradley a wildcard to deploy at different levels of the defense. He doesn’t have the top end speed to play safety full-time, but he is savvy enough to hold his own if you need him to log some snaps back there. A great depth piece for the linebacker and safety positions.

Round 6, Pick 216: OT Myron Cunningham (Arkansas)

Myron Cunningham played well during his time at Arkansas. He manned the left side, and profiles as a swing tackle at the next level. Cunningham may never become a starter in the league, but the depth is something that many teams covet.

Round 7, Pick 236: S Zyon McCollum (Sam Houston)

Zyon McCollum has very little experience against NFL-caliber talent. During his time at the Senior Bowl, he flashed his physical abilities throughout the week. At times, he looked overwhelmed by the sheer amount of talent surrounding him. If he’s able to find his footing in a locker room, there’s a real chance he blossoms into a solid player.

Round 7, Pick 237: WR Ty Fryfogle (Indiana)

The Indiana boy stays home with the blue and white. Ty Fryfogle suffered from inconsistent quarterback play during his time with the Indiana Hoosiers. He possesses NFL-size as a boundary wide receiver, and is worth the flier this late in the draft for the Indianapolis Colts. Competition never hurts.
