2020 NFL Draft: 5 Best landing spots for CeeDee Lamb
By Dan Parzych
5. Indianapolis Colts
First off, as frustrating as it was to watch the Indianapolis Colts miss out on the playoffs last season despite an impressive 5-2 start, the team does deserve some credit when seeing how they were forced to overcome the surprise news of Andrew Luck in the preseason.

One can only imagine how different things would have been if Luck didn’t make the decision to retire out of nowhere, and the pressure will certainly be on Jacoby Brissett in 2020, that is, assuming the Colts decide to stick with him at quarterback.
Then again, whether Indianapolis decides to go with Brissett or someone else next season, there’s no question the passing game could use another reliable weapon to work with beyond T.Y. Hilton.
When healthy, Hilton has proven to be one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL with his blazing speed, and the thought of him teaming up with another dominant receiver like Lamb could help Indianapolis bounce back in one of the strongest ways possible.
Like most teams, the Colts have a few other positions they should arguably focus on in the first round, but would Indianapolis feel regret later on by passing on Lamb?
There’s always the chance of Indianapolis being able to land a wideout in one of the later rounds, but from a talent perspective, they may not be anywhere near the same level as the Oklahoma product.
