No. 160 | Michael Ojemudia | CB | Iowa
The Colts cut Pierre Desir, making it seem like the cornerback position might be high on the priority list during the draft. But after signing both Xavier Rhodes and T.J. Carrie to the roster, the Colts might be willing to wait on a Day 3 prospect who fits their mold.
In most simulations, Ojemudia is gone by this pick. If he’s still available here, it would be a steal for the defense. Ojemudia meets the theoretical arm length threshold (32.25″) the Colts like in their cornerbacks. He’s great for a zone coverage scheme where he can keep his eyes in the backfield while looking to make a play on the ball.
Ojemudia is also known for his run defense, which is a major aspect for the Colts in the cornerback room. There is some development to take place, but adding Ojemudia to the room would be a fantastic fit during the draft.
