The Indianapolis Colts have made the biggest decision of the 2022 season, trading a third-round selection to the Atlanta Falcons for former MVP quarterback Matt Ryan.
This is a solid deal for a reeling organization, attempting to forge ahead from past mistakes at the most important position in football. Ryan brings a veteran presence and stability that the Colts have mostly lacked since the retirement of Andrew Luck, with a different Week 1 starting quarterback in each of the past five seasons with Ryan to be the sixth in 2022.
While this may not be the last move in an otherwise quiet offseason, attention will soon turn to the 2022 NFL draft for all 32 teams.
This draft looks to be one of, if not the most, important times for general manager Chris Ballard, head coach Frank Reich and respective staff members to shine with many of their jobs likely on the line.
It will be more important than ever for this organization to surround its new quarterback with young talent on both sides of the ball and get back on track towards its prime goal of winning a Super Bowl.
Here, we’ll take an updated look at the first three selections in a four-round mock draft for the Indianapolis Colts using Pro Football Network’s mock draft simulator:
