With the Indianapolis Colts’ first training camp practice almost here, let’s take a swing at predicting what the final 53-man roster ends up looking like.

While OTAs and minicamp provided us with some additional insights, whether it be through individual performances, where players were lined up, or what units they were working with, the final roster decisions will be made based on what happens over the next several weeks.

So, to state the obvious, a lot can, and to some degree, probably will change. But given what we know right now, here is how the Colts’ 53-man roster could shake out.

Indianapolis Colts‘ 53-man roster prediction on offense

Quarterbacks (3): Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard

Although we don’t know who is starting, we do know that this trio will make up the quarterback room on the 53-man roster.

Running backs (3): Jonathan Taylor, Khalil Herbert, DJ Giddens

Tyler Goodson is also competing with Herbert and Giddens for playing time and a roster spot, but with GM Chris Ballard saying earlier this offseason that more production from the backup running back role is needed, I think the Colts go in a different direction behind Taylor.

Wide receivers (6): Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, AD Mitchell, Anthony Gould, Ashton Dulin

I don’t anticipate at surprises here. Since Dulin was re-signed in free agency, this group has made up the Colts’ receiver room.

Tight ends (4): Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory

Warren fills the do-it-all role, Alie-Cox and Ogletree are block-first options, while Mallory can be the receiving-first option at this position. Mallory also reportedly put together a strong showing during OTAs and minicamp.

Offensive line (9): Bernhard Raimann, Quenton Nelson, Tanor Bortolini, Matt Goncalves, Braden Smith, Blake Freeland, Dalton Tucker, Danny Pinter, Jalen Travis

Keeping 10 linemen is always in play for Ballard, and there is value in having additional interior depth with two inexperienced players presumably starting. But to make the roster math work right now, I went with nine.

Indianapolis Colts 53-man roster prediction on defense

Defensive line (10): DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Neville Gallimore, Kwity Paye, Laiatu Latu, Samson Ebukam, Tyquan Lewis, JT Tuimoloau, Tim Smith

The Colts could keep nine defensive linemen, but we’ll assume they keep 10, given how Ballard has prioritized investing into this position group. However, at defensive end, we still had to leave Isaiah Land off the final roster. He played a relatively small role in games last season. At tackle, Eric Johnson was the odd man out, but a roster spot and playing time is up for grabs here this summer.

Linebackers (5): Zaire Franklin, Jaylon Carlies, Segun Olubi, Cameron McGrone, Joe Bachie

When there is inexperience, there is uncertainty, but as of now, I think this is what the Colts’ linebacker room looks like. Franklin and Carlies start, while Olubi, McGrone, and Bachie all have special teams experience.

Cornerback (6): Jaylon Jones, Charvarius Ward, Kenny Moore, JuJu Brents, Samuel Womack, Justin Walley

This is the most difficult position to construct. Perhaps in Lou Anarumo’s defense, the Colts go heavy and keep seven cornerbacks. But to make the roster math work out right now, I went with six and left Corey Ballentine off. Although Ballentine was signed in free agency, he leaves behind a dead cap hit of $482,500, per Over the Cap, if released. If the Colts keep six, Ballentine and Womack will be competing for that final spot, while Brents has to show he can stay healthy.

Safeties (4): Nick Cross, Cam Bynum, Rodney Thomas, Hunter Wohler

Under Gus Bradley, the Colts went light at safety, rostering just four players, and I ended up doing the same in Anarumo’s first season. In this new defense, we will see more three-safety looks, which puts a greater premium on depth, but beyond Cross, Bynum, and Thomas, no other players at the safety position have NFL regular-season experience.

Special teams (3): Spencer Shrader, Rigoberto Sanchez, Luke Rhodes

As special teams coordinator Brian Mason said, it is an “open competition” at kicker between Shrader and Maddux Trujillo. But until we see otherwise, I’ll give Shrader the benefit of the doubt.
