NFL Mock Draft 2015: Josh Norris' Seven-Round Indianapolis Colts Mock Draft

With the NFL Draft now just one month away, the number of mock drafts will just continue to increase as we move forward.  As such, there are a lot of different opinions on what the Colts will do with their first round pick (number 29 overall), and some have even extended it further than that to include later rounds.

Rotoworld's Josh Norris undertook the task to complete a seven-round mock draft for the Indianapolis Colts, and it's worth a read.  Let's take a look at each pick, including the first rounder.  And with that pick, Norris has the Colts taking LSU edge rusher Danielle Hunter:

Round 1 (29): EDGE Danielle Hunter, LSU - From where projections stand right now -- most of which obviously won't come true -- there are not many edge rushers available in the late first round. This pick came down to Hunter and Eli Harold. I received a lot of jokes saying the Colts will target the most unathletic edge player in this spot. We have seen teams try to overcorrect on the athletic spectrum in the past, see the Steelers in 2014. Hunter is an outstanding athlete who is a solid run defender, but he has zero intent when rushing the passer. It is only a feeling, but I suspect coaches and evaluators will want to work with what Hunter offers.

Here are his other eight picks for the Colts (head to the article to read brief write-ups about each selection):

Second Round, 61st overall - Jaquiski Tartt, SS, Stamford

Third Round, 93rd overall - David Cobb, RB, Minnesota

Fourth Round, 128th overall - Rob Havenstein, T, Wisconsin

Fifth Round, 165th overall - Kurtis Drummond, S, Michigan State

Sixth Round, 204th overall - Joey Mbu, DT, Houston

Sixth Round, 206 overall - Junior Sylvestre, LB, Toledo

Seventh Round, 244th overall - Terrance Magee, RB, LSU

Seventh Round, 255th overall - Chris Harper, WR, Cal

Hunter was a two-year starter for LSU, and in three seasons at the school he played in 38 games (starting 23), recording 142 tackles (21 for loss), 4.5 sacks, eight pass breakups, seven quarterback hurries, two forced fumble, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.  He has a lot of physical talent but is somewhat raw, and as Norris notes, the Colts might be intrigued by that and want to work with him more.

In the other rounds, Norris has the Colts addressing the safety position (twice), the running back position (twice), the offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, and wide receiver positions.  Obviously, just looking at the positions doesn't tell us whatsoever whether it's a good draft class, but it's clear that in this mock draft, Norris has the Colts addressing several needs.  Getting Tartt at safety would be a solid option in the second or third round if Landon Collins doesn't fall to them in the first, while some of the other players could be good role players for Indy.

What are your thoughts on this seven-round mock draft?
