Colts 1st Round Options
The Colts might be looking at defense early as they have needs at safety, cornerback, and in the pass rush. There are several cornerbacks that could be available and would be a good fit such as Alabama’s Terrion Arnold, Iowa’s Cooper DeJean, and Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell. All provide a solid cover corner to add to the secondary.
