The Indianapolis Colts traded back into the third round of the 2022 NFL draft and selected Maryland safety Nick Cross with the No. 96 overall pick.
General manager Chris Ballard had seemingly gone through his three selections on Day 2 after trading back form their original second-round pick. However, they made a shocking move to trade the No. 179 overall pick and a 2023 third-round pick to get back into the round on Friday night.
Adding Cross to the secondary is a fantastic move. The Colts continue to bet on high-end traits, and Cross has the skills to be a long-term contributor for Indy.
