Default Colts draft DE Dayo Odeyingbo - Round 2, Pick 54

With the run of OT's in the 2nd round, Ballard doubles down on pass rush and drafts another DE.

With the No. 54 pick, the Colts take Dayo Odeyingbo, a defensive end from Vanderbilt.

Doubling down on the DE position.

And it'd be a big surprise if Indianapolis makes another pick tonight. Would probably take a 2022 pick to move up into the third.

The Colts select Vanderbilt’s DE Dayo Odeyingbo, who is coming off a torn Achilles. He’ll be cleared in August return to play late September/October. Plenty of teams had a first round grade prior to his injury.

Ian Rapaport says Odeyingbo isn't expected to be cleared to practice until August, probably can't play until October.

Of course, the same stuff was said about Julian Blackmon last year, and I learned my lesson there. We'll have to wait and see.

Chris Ballard: "Really excited to get Dayo. ... He tore his Achilles in late January. We thought it was worth the risk."

Ballard says if he hadn't hurt himself, he would have been a first rounder. Says he was "sweating it out" hoping Dayo would fall.

Colts nickname for Dayo: "The Human Hurricane."

"He's as disruptive a defensive player as we saw on tape this past fall."

Morocco Brown said had Dayo Odeyingbo come out last year, he would have been up there with Javon Kinlaw.

Kinlaw was drafted by the 49ers at No. 14 last year.
