The majority of the big splashes in the 2023 NFL Draft are out of the way. Through three rounds, the Indianapolis Colts have drafted their franchise quarterback, a replacement for a Pro Bowler, and a playmaking weapon.
Entering day three, the Colts have eight selections to work with as they round out the roster and search for potential late-round gems. General manager Chris Ballard added picks for the last day through a pair of trades in round-two.
There's talent still to be had, too. A few interesting prospects remain on the board that would be exciting additions for the Colts. Below, five prospects are highlighted, including a championship defensive back and an athletic defensive lineman.
Georgia defensive back Kelee Ringo may be the biggest name still available entering the fourth-round. Ringo has a championship pedigree and big-game experience from his time in college. And, the Colts met with Ringo in the pre-draft process.
Ohio State offensive lineman Dawand Jones is perhaps the largest prospect still on the board as the draft flips to the final day. Jones stands at 6-8 and weighs more than 350 pounds. His addition would provide a boost in the trenches.
Northwestern defensive lineman Adetomiwa Adebawore appeared in a handful of first-round mock drafts, but he has yet to hear his name called. Adebawore turned heads at the scouting combine, but is undersized. He's more than worth a pick this late in the draft.
Utah defensive back Clark Phillips has some of the best tape of the cornerbacks in the class, but he is undersized at 5-9 and 180 pounds and lack the eye-popping athletic profile. Nonetheless, Phillips has the talent to be a difference-maker in the slot.
North Carolina State offensive lineman Chandler Zavala is a player that Indianapolis could swoop up to fill the need in the interior. Zavala is a strong blocker that did not allow a sack on the collegiate level.
