In addition to there being two NFL games on Saturday that come with major playoff implications for the Indianapolis Colts, there are also a number of college football bowl games taking place as well.
So if you’re going to partake in some of the college football action, which prospects in each game should you have your eyes on?
The caveat to all of this is that, at this stage of the game, trying to predict who the Colts might draft next April is a nearly impossible task. However, as these bowl games take place and the pre-draft process unfolds over the next few months, it can be helpful to have some prospects to keep your eyes on.
From a positional need standpoint, at least before we see how free agency unfolds in March, some potential positions that the Colts could address in April include cornerback, safety, linebacker, tight end, running back, and defensive tackle.
