2017 NFL Mock Draft: Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Impacts Early

46. Poor drafting has really put the Indianapolis Colts behind the 8-ball. GM Ryan Grigson knows he has to ace 2017 and get his team back on track or he’s likely to lose his last shot to remain at the job. Owner Jim Irsay has been remarkably patient up to this point, but it’s wearing this. One area that Grigson has failed to address is the pass rush. Now Robert Mathis has retired. If that defense is going to be any sort of threat in the AFC, it needs a legitimate edge rusher. <p>How thankful they must be then that Derek Barnett basically falls into their lap. The young man was a nightmare for SEC quarterbacks the past three seasons, finishing with 33 sacks. One better than former icon Vol Reggie White. Though not a freaky athlete, Barnett is such a natural pass rusher. He has great awareness, strength, bend and burst off the snap. Setting the edge is something he can do as well. Get him going forward though and he always finds a way to get the quarterback frazzled. Always.</p>. DE. Tennessee. Derek Barnett . 15. player
