The Colts drafted former Florida DE George Gumbs Jr. with the No. 156 pick.

He's the first pass rusher Indy has drafted this year.

Needs to work on his pass rush technique, as is the case with most DEs at this stage of the draft.

But he's a solid athlete with a good motor.

George Gumbs Jr.

Explosive player with some bend and good effort.

Extremely raw player that’s a bit slow off the line and had little production.

Fine lottery ticket type pick to take on day 3

It's a little early, but he has the tools to work with.

Among Colt fans, especially, there has arisen a certain skepticism about RAS scores.

That having been said, one thing stands out about him…he has elite explosion. It’s a trait that flows through most great pass rushers.

Both the Watt brothers
Myles Garrett
Brian Burns
Danielle Hunter
Micah Parsons
Jared Verse
Maxx Crosby
Von Miller

Among Colts

Latu’s grade was good
Paye’s was great
Tyquan Lewis great
Kemoko Turay good
Ben Banogu elite
Samson Ebukam elite.

Not saying that elite explosion is an absolute need. Itdoes, however, seem to play a factor.

He's a project, plain and simple. There is no other way to sugar coat this.
