I was glad I was wrong on this. I had picked Bobby Okereke in the fourth. And he gets picked up in the third round. Just another reason for me to root for the Colts!
Bobby to join Andrew in Indy!!

Quote:Bobby Okereke was selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft with the 89th overall pick on Friday night by the Indianapolis Colts. An inside linebacker from Santa Ana, California, Okereke is the first Cardinal selected by the Colts since Henry Anderson in the third round of the 2015 Draft.
"Bobby has intrigued the scouts during the pre-draft process," Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw said. "His length, speed and athleticism have truly put him on the radar for a lot of teams. From day one, he will probably be a starter on multiple special teams and will be battling to get on the field as a linebacker early in his career for the Colts."

You gotta watch Pat Mcafee announce the Colts pick of Bobby Okereke. It is the best announcement I’ve ever seen.

Gotta admit, that was an exceptional draft pick announcement.

MMQB says keep an eye on Bobby O:

Quote:4. Here’s another third-round pick to keep an eye on: Colts LB Bobby Okereke. The coaches are already excited about his potential coming out of minicamp. And the team viewed it as a priority to find an athlete to pair with Darius Leonard at the position, which is why C.J. Mosley was one of two first-wave free agents that GM Chris Ballard made a serious run at. Okereke can’t be expected to duplicate Leonard’s rookie accomplishments—he was First Team All-Pro in 2018—but the Colts saw a lot of same the things in him that attracted them to Leonard last April, including instincts, intelligence and long arms. Indy had Okereke on a tier with Utah’s Cody Barton, behind top-10 picks Devin White and Devin Bush. And while Okereke (4.59 in the 40) isn’t as freakish athletically as White or Bush, he is bigger and longer than them. Which, in fact, was what Leonard had over top-10 pick Roquan Smith last year. So keep an eye on Okereke.
