On today's special weekend episode, Evan is joined by Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed to recap the Indianapolis Colts' draft rounds 2-7. After starting with a bang drafting Kwity Paye at No. 21 overall, Indy doubled-down on defensive linemen at No. 54 with Vanderbilt's Dayo Odeyingbo. Even with a torn Achilles in the pre-draft process, the Colts coveted Odeyingbo with a first-round grade.
Entering into Day 3, the Colts began with drafting SMU tight end Kylen Granson at No. 127. Granson is the highest drafted tight end for Indy since 2012 (Dwayne Allen + Coby Fleener). A great fit within the Frank Reich offense, Granson is a more athletic version of Trey Burton. It's been confirmed that Granson will play an immediate role for Indy in 2021, so what should we expect?
Closing out the draft, Indy made some surprise picks. Sam Ehlinger will compete with Jacob Eason to be the QB2 behind Carson Wentz. Also, adding some more depth at DB and WR was very necessary.
All of this, plus so much more, in a jam-packed episode recapping everything the Colts did with their final six picks of the 2021 NFL Draft!
