What time will Colts draft on Thursday? Averaging the last 5 draft times for No. 14 overall

When will the Colts kick off their draft clock?

The Indianapolis Colts are set to kickoff their draft weekend with the 14th overall pick, but what time will that roughly be for those managing their late Thursday night?

The NFL Draft officially begins this Thursday, April 24th, at 8 PM EST, and the Colts could find themselves drafting at around 9:45 PM EST or quarter ‘til 10 PM EST.

However, since we’re proponents of modern day science, we’ll take a look at the 5-year average of the last 14th overall picks in the NFL Drafts from 2024-2020.

• New Orleans Saints- OT Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State - 9:48 PM EST
• Pittsburgh Steelers- OT Broderick Jones, Georgia - 9:50 PM EST
• Baltimore Ravens- S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame- 9:46 PM EST
• New York Jets- OG Alijah Vera-Tucker, USC- 10:11 PM EST
• San Francisco 49ers- DT Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina- 10:01 PM EST

Average Time: 9:55 PM EST (But this doesn’t rule out a potential trade up/down)

It may be a veteran move to have the draft feed on and snacks or beverage ready, somewhere around 9:45 - 9:55 PM EST. If you need to take a bathroom break, I’d recommend going either before or twenty minutes after that timeframe (to be safe).

At any rate, we shall know soon enough who will be the Colts’ 14th overall selection, when Indianapolis officially begins its draft clock late Thursday night.
