Colts Select UCLA’s Takkarist McKinley in ESPN Mel Kiper’s Latest Mock Draft

According to ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr., the Indianapolis Colts are projected to select UCLA pass rusher Takkarist McKinley with the 15th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft:

15. Indianapolis Colts, 8-8

Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA

Dwight Freeney is long gone, but now so, too, is Robert Mathis and his 123.5 career sacks. There is no question the Colts need to continue to work on the offensive line, but there simply isn’t appropriate value at tackle at this spot in the draft. They also really need a pass-rusher, and McKinley is explosive off the edge.
