How the Indianapolis Colts will go about using their first pick in the 2021 NFL draft is one of the biggest questions surrounding their offseason.

Of course, what they do in free agency before that will determine much of what they do in the draft. Among their top priorities this offseason, the Colts must find a viable replacement for left tackle Anthony Castonzo.

In the latest Pro Football Focus mock draft, the Colts take a swing a drafting BYU offensive tackle Brady Christensen with the No. 21 overall pick.

We’re living in a world where Philip Rivers gives it one more go before retiring, so with the retirement of longtime tackle Anthony Castonzo, a tackle replacement is in order. Christensen was a monster this past season, allowing only four pressures the whole season while mauling in the run game. I believe someone will fall in love with this kid and take him a bit early, especially with there being a bit of a gap between the top two tackles and the rest.

Finding Castonzo’s replacement is certainly at the top of the list for the Colts when it comes to how they might use that first pick. They could also trade up for a quarterback if the right one falls far enough down the order.

With the line already solidified everywhere but the blindside, this could make the position the top priority for Chris Ballard in the draft. We also know how much he loves to build the trenches, which is another reason Indy could use the No. 21 pick on a tackle.

We are still far away from where we get an idea of what direction the Colts will be heading in, but an offensive tackle is certainly on the board for their first pick.
