Day 3 is now where things get a little different for the Colts. They don’t have any compensatory picks, which means their selections in the final four rounds are all pushed back. Starting with Zuniga, the Colts get an edge rusher who could fit what Chris Ballard likes in an upside pick.

The brilliant Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue listed Zuniga as the type of edge prospect that Ballard likes to target on Day 3. Here’s what he said:

Zuniga is a bit of a risk in this draft class. He has had his struggles with injuries and consistencies in his college career. Where he is intriguing as a prospect though is what he could be. He has excellent athleticism and the flashes he showed in college were first round level. He has all the tools to be a top tier defensive end in the league, he just needs development. This fits exactly with what Ballard looks for in his defensive ends and if Zuniga begins to slip in the draft, I bet Ballard gets interested in his upside.

The Colts have their starters in Justin Houston, Kemoko Turay and Al-Quadin Muhammad while Ben Banogu continues to develop. They could also add another depth piece in free agency. With a Day 3 pick like Zuniga, the depth in the room gets stronger.
