No. 160 | J.R. Reed | S | Georgia
The Colts let go Clayton Geathers in free agency, and currently have three safeties on the roster, so the need is there. With having multiple late-round picks this pick of Reed is to fill the depth and get a guy that can play special teams.
Reed is more of a “strong safety,” a guy that will play in the box and be good against the run, so if he had any role with the Colts it would be that subpackage safety like what Geathers played a lot last year in sub packages. Reed also brings high value as a special teams player and could be a solid depth rotational safety for the Colts in the fifth round.
