Colts pass on QB, pick top pass rusher in 7-round mock draft of active NFL players

In a unique 7-round mock draft of active NFL players, the Colts pass on a quarterback and take the top pass rusher instead. The Indianapolis Colts were the first team not to select a quarterback in a very unique seven-round mock draft put together by Chad Reuter of In this mock, rather than selecting the top college prospects or redrafting past drafts, Reuter selected only active NFL players. In doing so, he had one goal in mind for each team, which was to "win now." So, which non-quarterback did the Colts prioritize selecting in this mock draft, and what did their seven-man draft class end up looking like overall? The Indianapolis Colts picked DE Myles Garrett in the first round Of course, in a quarterback-driven league, those players dominated the first round of this mock. The Colts were one of just a couple of teams that did not pick this position. So, with the Colts able to take the best non-quarterback in the draft, they selected Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett. This past season, Garrett totaled 83 pressures and 14 sacks, according to PFF. He's recorded at least 14 sacks in five straight seasons and has had 70-plus pressures over the last four years. Up to this point in his career, Garrett is a six-time Pro Bowler, a four-time All-Pro, and he was the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year. Who else did the Colts pick in this mock draft Perhaps in a fitting fashion, even in this mock draft, the Colts will have some question marks at quarterback. Wilson will be on his third team in three seasons this year, and while his numbers on the surface are solid during that span, the overall offensive output from his units hasn't quite been there. The 2023 Broncos and the 2024 Steelers were both ranked in the bottom third in points per game and yards per play. McBride provides a high-end pass-catching presence from the tight end position, while Harrison Jr. gets to return home to play for the Colts. As GM Chris Ballard would, the Colts prioritized the trenches in Reuter's mock, picking two offensive linemen and a defensive lineman, while Bates brings really good ball production to the back end of the defense.

NFL Icon Jerome Bettis weighs in on the importance of franchise running backs

This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Pro Football Hall of Famer and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Jerome Bettis. Bettis is participating in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe. Bettis shared his thoughts on the importance of teams committing to a franchise running back, as many, including Kansas City Chiefs starter Isiah Pacheco, await word on a potential contract extension."Well, teams must understand that when you find a franchise running back, you sign them. Make no mistake, because he changes the complexion of what your team looks like and how your team will perform. I think people often look at where the NFL is today; it's more of a passing league, and because of that, people have taken the running back position a little bit for granted," said Bettis, "And say, you know what? We can get just a guy to go out and give us 12 to 15 carries, and then we get another guy to give us another 10 or 8 carries. We can do it by just getting a couple of good players, and they don't have to pay the price of a top-tier running back, and they can put that money in other places. They are starting to realize that if I don't have a franchise running back, my team looks different than some of these teams competing for a championship because they have that go-to running back now."Bettis praised Philadelphia's decision to sign Saquon Barkley and his success as an example of a franchise running back. During an appearance on The Pivot Podcast, he mentioned several others, including Pacheco from the Chiefs, who hasn't been offered an extension yet."I will say this: it's not easy to find the franchise running backs because the colleges aren't running the ball the way they used to. So you don't see as many coming out of the NFL. Every year, you see one, maybe two. I think they had two solid running backs in this draft, so you felt good about drafting in the first round," Bettis told Easton Jr., "So you're not finding as many as you used to. But when you find one, you better keep them and pay them. You saw Green Bay (Packers). They went out and got a guy who was a bell cow, and he (Josh Jacobs) changed what that team looked like. Then you look at Baltimore (Ravens). They go out, and they go and get a guy (Derrick Henry). They're getting a stud, which makes them look different, so when you find them and bring them in, it changes your team, and you see the difference. So it's not a mistake that these teams have had the years that they have with the running backs that they have."The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC and a first-place prize of $150,000 make the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.
