Colts selected Ohio State EDGE Caden Curry with the No. 214 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Curry (6’2/257) finally got a chance to start in 2025, and he made the most of that opportunity. He was a Third-team All-American and Second-team All-Big Ten Conference performer while leading the loaded Buckeyes’ defense with 16.5 tackles for loss and finishing in the top 10 in all of college football with 11 sacks. While the production was impressive, there are concerns about his overall athleticism and fluidity, and his ability to shed blockers is a work-in-progress, to put it mildly. Still, those numbers in one of -- if not the -- best conference in college football is tough to ignore, and it’s not hard to see Curry developing into at least a situational pass-rusher at the highest level.
