Colts Snag Gumbs: Smart Day 3 Pick

0:00On May 1st, Colt snagged Florida defensive end George Gums Jr. in the 5th round, 156th overall. This past Russia brings solid production, with 13 pressures and 3 sacks over 136 snaps last season, plus 26. Pressures in 5 sacks the year before. He started his college ball at Northern Illinois as a wide receiver before switching to defense, so he's still raw, but building a strong base quick. Analysts like Edwards, praise the Colt's draft as a win, even without a first rounder, filling needs at safety, guard, and linebacker. They see Gums as good value, grabbed earlier than his consensus rank around 235th. GM Chris Ballard called him a tremendous athlete with upside as an outside backer, but he'll need refinement first, likely starting on special teams. Overall, this pick caps a Smart Day 3 haul for Indy, betting on Gums' potential to pay off down the line.
