The Indianapolis Colts took their time evaluating the talent at the NFL Scouting Combine. As a result, the event probably narrowed down their options for the upcoming NFL Draft. The Colts do not have a sixth-round pick this year, because they traded it for inside linebacker Sio Moore before the start of the 2015 season. Here is a seven-round mock draft for the Colts.

Round 1, No. 18 Overall: Center Ryan Kelly

Kelly is a bit of a reach here, but every scout loves him. In his last year at Alabama, he won the Rimington Trophy, which is given to the top center in college football. The Colts need a center, and Kelly has a potential to be a long-term solution.

Round 2, No. 48 Overall: OLB Kyler Fackrell

The Colts are looking for a younger outside linebacker, and Fackrell would be an excellent fit in their defense. He is known as a pass rusher, but Fackrell also has the physical tools needed to be any every down outside linebacker.

Round 3, No. 82 Overall: CB Will Redmond

Despite drafting cornerback D’Joun Smith in 2015, the Colts could use another defensive back. Redmond can effectively play both nickel and outside corner. While his 2015 ACL tear is a concern, he appears to be on the right track for recovery.

Round 4: FS Tyvis Powell

Powell’s 4.46 40-yard dash probably caught the eyes of Colts general manager Ryan Grigson. Combine his speed with his coverage skills and Powell has the potential to be a solid coverage safety. He would be a nice addition to the Colts’ defense.

Despite not playing in 2015, Williams is still an option for the Colts. The team’s new running backs coach Jemal Singleton coached Williams at Arkansas, and he could be a solid running back in the future. In the fifth round, he's worth the risk.

Round 7: RB/WR D.J. Foster

The Colts could use a versatile offensive player like Foster, who was an effective running back and wide receiver at Arizona State. He does not have the needed size to play every down, but the Colts won't ask him to do that.
