Film Room: Dayo Odeyingbo is a risky bet on elite traits

The Indianapolis Colts seemingly surprised everyone when they selected defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. For all the fans who participate in mock draft simulators and follow the big media names, this pick certainly seemed like a reach. However, I have learned of at least two teams that wanted to take him in the second round; the Carolina Panthers (who had his name on their card before electing to trade down with Washington at 52) and the Kansas City Chiefs (who were dead set on selecting him with their second-round pick until Ballard swiped him).
