The Colts are drafting more linebackers to help with the depth issues at that position. After they drafted Matthew Adams out of Houston, they have now taken Zaire Franklin out of Syracuse. He is another player taken to help with some depth and maybe make the roster with special teams.
Franklin was a solid contributor for Syracuse. He is a tackling machine, having tallied at least 80 tackles in three out of his four years, including recording 101 tackles his junior year. He doesn’t miss many tackles either.
In terms of pass rushing, he doesn’t offer too much.
