No. 193 | Antoine Brooks Jr. | S | Maryland
It isn’t yet clear where Brooks fits in a defense. He could be used as a box safety or more of a SAM linebacker depending on the scheme. The Colts don’t often employ three linebackers and they do have a need at safety depth behind Khari Willis and Malik Hooker.
Brooks Jr. is best suited for a defensive alignment that often implements two deep safeties. The Colts used more single-high looks during the 2019 season, but they also implemented plenty of split safeties as well. Brooks Jr. would be a fine Day 3 pick to add depth to the secondary and help on special teams.
