It's officially NFL draft week, and the Indianapolis Colts have a big selection to make at No. 15 overall.
While we can narrow down which prospects are most likely going to be on the radar for the Colts when they are on the clock Thursday night, there are several ways Indy can go about the selections.
ESPN analytics also has taken a crack at predicting which players are most likely to be selected by the Colts at No. 15.

ESPN analytics predicts NFL Draft pick for Colts
Using the draft predictor app from ESPN, they rank two cornerbacks as the most likely selections for the Colts.
According to their predictions, ESPN believes the most likely scenario includes the Colts drafting either Alabama's Terrion Arnold or Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell at No. 15 overall.
Arnold, who served as Alabama's CB1 in 2023, has a 14% chance to be the selection for the Colts in the eyes of ESPN. It's the highest among all prospects at No. 15 overall, and it makes sense when considering the fit and need with the Colts.
For Mitchell, he's right behind Arnold at 13% in terms of the chance he's taken with the No. 15 overall pick. Again, this also makes sense because Mitchell is an ideal selection for the Colts in the middle of the first round.

The predictor also has Oregon State offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga and Penn State offensive tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu as the next-highest players to be selected, but that would be an unlikely scenario considering the talent the Colts have at both tackle positions.
Only a few days remain until the Colts are on the clock, which means the time for predicting and speculating is almost over.
