What does Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck need to go with the speedy T.Y. Hilton now that the club is parting ways with veteran Reggie Wayne?
More speed, of course.
NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis and Curtis Conway each offered their take Friday on a wide receiver prospect who would be a good fit for the Colts as they look to replace Wayne. The analysts agreed during the conversation on NFL Network's "Path to the Draft" that the first round isn't the time for the Colts to pick a receiver, particularly in a draft regarded as deep at the position. Here's a look at their picks.
Conway: Phillip Dorsett, Miami
Conway said Dorsett, whose 4.33 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine was the third-fastest time at the event, would be a strong fit for the Colts. With Luck's powerful arm, Conway sees two vertical threats causing major problems for Colts opponents. "You talk about a good fit with with T.Y. (Hilton), can you imagine? Both of these speed demons out there on an island? You can't put a safety in the box to cover the run game, which means that will open up your run game," Conway said. "You get a Phillip Dorsett out there man to man, you're not gong to have a safety in the box. I like him, not right away in the first round, but maybe in the third round, I see Phillip Dorsett being a really good piece for that offense." Dorsett was among the most impressive players at any position at the Senior Bowl in January, and ranks No. 47 on Jeremiah's Top 50.
Davis: Nelson Agholor, USC
Davis said USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin told him Agholor reminds him of a young Wayne. "What I like about Agholor is he's a former running back out of high school who has trained himself to be a receiver while at USC," Davis said. "He's worked hard to become a technician."
Jeremiah: Tre McBride, William & Mary
"Not a lot of people know about (McBride)," Jeremiah said. "When you study him on tape, we saw him at the East-West (Shrine) Game, he was outstanding. He's somebody that ran a little bit faster than you expected at 4.41." Jeremiah also said McBride would be a nice fit for Andrew Luck and a good complementary piece alongside Hilton and Donte Moncrief, a third-round pick last year.
