The Indianapolis Colts pick OLB Kavell Conner in the 7th round
The Colts have picked OLB Kavell Conner with the 240th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft. Conner has nice size at 6′0″, 247 pounds and he runs a 4.7 40 so he’s a good athlete. But Conner is not a very physical player and that is why he dropped so far in this draft. He played in 14 games (12 starts) at Clemson last season and he had 111 tackles, 8 tackles for a loss, he had 2 sacks and he broke up 1 pass. Conner played in 52 games (27 starts) in his four years in college and he finished up with 313 tackles, 16 tackles for a loss, had 3 sacks, broke up 6 passes and he had 1 interception. Conner will help out immediately on special teams and he could develop into a starting linebacker down the road if everything turns out well for him.
