The Indianapolis Colts had the opportunity to select a quarterback on Day 2 of the 2022 NFL draft several times but opted instead to focus on other positions of need.
After Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback selected in the first round, some thought an early run at the position would happen to begin Day 2. It didn’t. The quarterbacks kept falling. And falling. And falling.
The Colts had their pick of the litter at No. 42 overall—their first selection of the draft. Malik Willis. Desmond Ridder. Sam Howell. They decided to trade back with the Minnesota Vikings. The same crop was available at No. 53 overall—the Colts’ new spot after the trade.
