With the biggest names at defensive end already off of the board when the Colts selected in the second round, Chris Ballard chose Rutgers edge rusher Kemoko Turay. It was no surprise to anyone who has completed any research that Turay would be selected relatively early in the draft — although I thought he projected more as a third round selection.
He is unlike the bigger names in the draft because he doesn’t boast the kind of sack production that others do and had an inconsistent college career. A shoulder injury that required two surgeries stripped him of the vast majority of his sophomore and junior seasons, and caused a major drop in his production when he did see the field.
