Julian Okwara | Age: 22 | Notre Dame | NFL Draft

Potentially a prospect the Colts could target with their second-round pick, Okwara has the upside and bend that might intrigue Chris Ballard enough to add him to an already young front.

Okwara won’t be able to replicate Sheard’s production and presence against the run. That’s not his game. Instead, Okwara could give the Colts another high-upside pass rusher with burst off the edge and athleticism to help in the run game,

Over the last three seasons at Notre Dame, Okwara recorded 15.5 sacks and 24 tackles for loss.
