Indianapolis Colts: 7-Round 2019 mock draft after NFL Combine
Round 5: Daylon Mack, DT, Texas A&M
If he is still on the board at this spot, Daylon Mack could be too big of a potential draft steal to pass up. While he looks more like a 3-4 nose guard, and that very well may be his most natural fit, Mack enters the league as a dominant run stuffer at 340 pounds. However, he showed plus athleticism at the combine, running a 5.1-second 40-yard dash, which is nice speed at his size, and could appeal to 4-3 teams as well.
He also showed potential as an inside pass rusher this past season, collecting 5.5 sacks and also tallying 10 tackles for a loss. He’s one of my personal favorite late-round sleepers.
Round 6: Mitch Hyatt, OT, Clemson
A four-year starter for the Tigers, Mitch Hyatt is lacking in traits, but he’s steady and understands how to play the position. And, at this point, he might be the highest-rated tackle left on the board.
Hyatt originally committed to LSU as one of the top tackle prospects in the country out of high school. In 2018, Hyatt repeated as the Jacobs Trophy winner and First-Team All-ACC selection. He was also named a First-Team All-American after starting all 15 games at left tackle for the national champs.
Round 7: Joe Giles-Harris, LB, Duke
Joe Giles-Harris is a traditional inside linebacker who is a little short on speed (4.75-second 40-yard dash), but oozes instincts production. Over the past three years, he has averaged over 100 tackles and 10.5 stops for a loss per season.
He is coming off a knee sprain that cut his final season with the Blue Devils down to nine games, but still led his team in tackles. He may not have some of the explosion traits or third down value that teams look for, but provides ample value here in the seventh round. Size and toughness find ways to stick around in the league.
