No. 22 — Indianapolis Colts
Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
Kiper: “One more that stays the same from previous mocks, I just really like the fit. The Colts have shown their age on the offensive line, and even while Peyton Manning is a maestro working out of the shotgun, they need to be able to do more both in the run game and in pass protection. Castonzo is a smart, versatile tackle who has been consistently rated as a first-round tackle option. He’s added bulk, and with good awareness footwork, he fits well in Indy at a position the Colts need to fill.”
My thoughts: Castonzo does seem like a natural fit, which is why the match seems too easy. Only one tackle, USC’s Tyron Smith, if off the board at this point. So the Colts could be choosing between Castonzo, Wisconsin’s Gabe Carimi and Colorado’s Nate Solder. Could they look away from offensive tackle to defensive tackle and Muhammad Wilkerson out of Temple? Or if they see Torrey Smith or Leonard Hankerson as an eventual No. 1, could they look for the heir to Reggie Wayne?
