Breaking down every third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, with complete grades for every selection

85. Indianapolis Colts

Julian Blackmon | DB | Utah

The Colts had a bit of a weakness in their secondary, and they did a good job of adding a versatile and talented defender in the back end in Blackmon.

A former cornerback who switched over to safety in Utah’s defense, Blackmon brings good length, athletic ability, route recognition and an aggressive style of play to the table, giving him value both up top and in man coverage. His instincts as a safety and his form as a tackler can still improve, but Blackmon could end up cracking the Indianapolis starting lineup in due time.

GRADE: B-
