The Colts selected former Georgia LB CJ Allen with the No. 53 pick.

Fills an immediate need at LB after Indy traded one its starting LBs, Zaire Franklin, to the Packers this offseason.

The Colts had a major need at LB obviously.

C.J. Allen is the most true MIKE in the draft when I talked to NFL teams.

He isn't going to be moved around too much, but he certainly can pressure and he plays bigger than he is.

He is a UGA linebacker through and through.

My LB3 in this draft.

I absolutely love his game.

Flies to the football, outstanding speed.

Should have been a top 30-35 pick in my opinion.

Trade back and still land him? BEAUTIFUL
