Why Notre Dame's Quenton Nelson at No. 6 for Colts? Two words: Andrew Luck

All of ESPN’s NFL reporters converged in Bristol, Connecticut, this week for the annual NFL Nation Mock Draft.

The Indianapolis Colts have their highest draft pick since 2012, at No. 6. But by the time the Colts were on the clock in our mock, pass-rusher Bradley Chubb and running back Saquon Barkley were both off the board already.

That left Notre Dame offensive lineman Quenton Nelson and Georgia linebacker Raquon Smith as the top players for me to choose from. Both players fit the category of best available and are in positions of need.
