Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay Project Colts to Select Miami DE Jaelan Phillips, NDSU OT Dillon Radunz in Dual NFL Mock Draft
According to ESPN’s
Kiper’s pick: Jaelan Phillips, DE, Miami
I can’t believe this is the first edge rusher off the board. Phillips has a history of injuries he medically retired from football when he was at UCLA but there’s no denying his pass-rush traits. And that’s the Colts’ biggest need.
Phillips’ chances of being available here: 74.0%
54. Indianapolis Colts
McShay’s pick: Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State
Remember when new Colts QB Carson Wentz was under fire every Sunday last season in Philadelphia? It didn’t go so well. And left tackle Anthony Castonzo just retired.

Had a very efficient and successful 2020 season after being a bit average in his previous two years; the Virginia Tech offense was much more run-centric in 2020, which may lead to questions about his consistency with pro pass sets and being left on an island. He was a Second Team All-American in 2020 while finishing First Team All ACC.

Frequently teaming up in the pick and roll with fellow Illini All-American Ayo Dosunmu, Cockburn presented a formidable challenge on the interior for opponents night in and night out. Cockburn, like Dosunmu, is likely to see his name brandished in the rafters at the State Farm Center, and let’s dive into the numbers to see why.
