A week from now, we'll have a clearer idea of what – if any – positions of need still exist on the Colts.
NFL free agency unofficially opens at noon on Monday, with impending unrestricted free agents free to negotiate contracts with any team. Those contracts can be agreed upon but not signed until after 4 p.m. Wednesday, which marks the start of the new league year.
And by Friday, most of this year's free agent class will have landed either in the same spot, or with new teams.
So this may be the final mock draft roundup we have in which team needs are, across the league, a bit vague. But it's still a worthwhile exercise to get acquainted with some of the players who could be in range for the Colts when they go on the clock in the second round of April's NFL Draft:
