The Colts' draft pick at No. 151, Missouri S Jaylon Carlies, likely profiles as a safety-linebacker hybrid in the NFL.

Similar to what Indianapolis did with Ronnie Harrison last year.

Jaylon Carlies to Indy. Pure defensive weapon that can play linebacker and safety. Huge interception production in college.

Think of Divine Deablo in Vegas under Gus Bradley.

Jaylon Carlies was drafted in round 5 pick 151 in the 2024 draft class.

He scored a 8.26 RAS out of a possible 10.00.

This ranked 191 out of 1093 FS from 1987 to 2024.

Are we sure the Colts want him as a S? If they do, they want him in a Kam Chancellor type of role. The measurables suggest he'd be one hell of a LB, and the Colts need a LB.

As Joel Erickson and Zach Hicks suspected in those first two tweets, the Colts plan to use Carlies primarily as a LB.

Ballard confirms the Colts plan to play Jaylon Carlies at linebacker.

Says LB coach Richard Smith "loved" him.

Coach Cato also gave his approval:

Big safety —> LB… My type of guy

He's got measurements very similar to Leonard and Speed.

Really similar to Leonard. Interesting. Not on my radar, so I'm excited to go watch his tape.
