2020 NFL draft: Colts select QB Jacob Eason with 122nd pick

The Indianapolis Colts selected Washington quarterback Jacob Eason with the No. 122 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

After adding some explosive players during the second day of the draft, the Colts get their developmental quarterback to work behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett.

During pre-draft mocks, Eason was projected to go on Day 2 and was often mocked to the Colts at No. 34. They had plenty of chances to grab him but now must feel this is good value for Eason.

With a big arm, good size and a high ceiling, there is a lot of upside with Eason but he has to develop his instincts and work better under pressure.

In 2019, Eason completed 64.2% of his passes for 3,132 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions with Washington after having to sit out due to transferring from Georgia.

Barring any trades, the Colts are scheduled to have three more picks on Day 3 at Nos. 149, 182 and 193.
