Colts must nail this year's draft — or else; Bob Kravitz joins

About this episode

James Boyd and Bob Kravitz discuss the Indianapolis Colts' draft strategy and the implications of not having a first-round pick.

The Athletic's Indianapolis Colts reporter James Boyd and longtime Indy sports columnist Bob Kravitz share their thoughts on the Colts' draft outlook. Indianapolis doesn't have a first-round pick this year, but that isn't an excuse for GM Chris Ballard. The Colts' underwhelming free agency additions have raised the stakes of this year's draft even more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
