Colts Draft Ohio State Edge Caden Curry With 214th Pick

The Center Grove product gains a path to a role through special teams versatility.

Overview

  • Indianapolis added the Ohio State defensive end in Round 6 at No. 214, bringing another pass rusher into the fold.
  • The Colts targeted their edge need with consecutive picks, selecting traits-focused George Gumbs Jr. in Round 5 and production-heavy Curry in Round 6.
  • Curry posted 11 sacks in 2025 and closed his Buckeyes career with 14.5 sacks, 107 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and Second Team All-Big Ten honors.
  • He enters a crowded group with Laiatu Latu, Jaylahn Tuimoloau, Arden Key, and Micheal Clemons, which points to special teams and rotational work as his first shot at snaps.
  • Evaluators noted a short wingspan for his size, a concern that likely pushed him to the late rounds despite strong film and experience moving across the line under Matt Patricia.
