Ben Banogu helps Colts defense be more complete
The second of the Colts’ three second round picks, Banogu is an athletic defender who fits what the Colts want to do perfectly.
Chris Ballard loves drafting athletic guys with upside on defense. He did it a year ago with Kemoko Turay and does it this year with Ben Banogu out of TCU. Banogu has the potential to be a very versatile piece along the Colts’ front seven.
At TCU, Banogu was an edge rusher and lined up mostly at defensive end. But he did a lot of rushes while standing up pre-snap. He has familiarity with that, which is great. The Colts will probably look for him to play the SAM linebacker position and maybe occasionally the MIKE.
