More than a round earlier, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. remarked that he thought Caden Curry was sliding too far down the board.

The Indianapolis Colts got him in the sixth round at pick 214. Not a bad spot for the national champion from Ohio State.

Curry is an edge rusher, and he may not have the greatest measurables.

But man, he was productive in his college career.
