On April 29, the Indianapolis Colts went all in on getting younger and faster this draft, stacking their defense without a first-round pick-by, loading up on day three selections. Late-round guys usually fight uphill battles, but three of theirs stand out with real shots at the final 53-man roster. Take linebacker Bryce Boetcher from Oregon, a fourth-round type who shines in past coverage, holding opponents to a 69.3 passer. Rating last year, Scouts love his instincts and special teams grit, so expect him to carve a niche right away, even if he battles vets for snaps. Meanwhile, defensive in Caden Curry from Ohio State brings local flavor from center-grove high here in Indiana. He exploded senior year with 66 tackles, 16 and a half for loss, and 11 sacks against top competition. His pass rush juice fits the Colts knee to speed up that front, arm length be damned. Then there's wide receiver Deon Berks, the last pick who lit a buzz with his 4.3 speed

at just 5 foot 9. After trading Michael Pittman Jr., he could push for outside reps, outshining college stats of 57 catches for 620 yards and four scores. These rickies show the Colts betting big on fresh legs to reshape the squad, keep eyes on training camp in August to see who sticks.
