Colts finally address pass-rush, nab Kemoko Turay in 2nd

The Indianapolis Colts have selected defensive end Kemoko Turay out of Rutgers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 52nd overall.

Turay should sit behind Jabaal Sheard, John Simon, and Henry Anderson as the Colts switch to a 4-3 defense.

Indy desperately needed to upgrade its 31st-ranked pass-rush, and while the uber-athletic former Rutgers standout will need time to refine his game, he could slot in as a situational pass-rusher from Day 1.
