The Indianapolis Colts pushed back the start of their day twice Friday, trading back a pair of times, and still were able to select cornerback Julius Brents with the No. 44 overall pick.
Killing two birds with one stone, the Colts addressed their biggest need and added valuable talent to the position while acquiring picks on Day 3 during those trade backs with the Las Vegas Raiders and Atlanta Falcons.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Colts making that pick at No. 44:
IT’S A PARADE INSIDE MY CITY YEAAAAA!! #FortheShoe https://t.co/L3Z3jXqnPg

Don't rule it out — Julius Brents could start as a rookie https://t.co/tv3HUoyJWi

Good fit for CB Julius Brents in Indy. Zone vision to break on the ball — with the press skills/frame to challenge on 3rd downs.

Julius Brents’s favorite player growing up was Bob Sanders.
In case you needed another reason to be all-in on this kid. pic.twitter.com/RQOVtw8FrO

Julius Brents is good, Ballard is so back

Julius Brents is the most Ballard pick ever, really nice work moving down and getting more picks in the process

Julius Brents – the Warren Central grad and Indianapolis native – was watching the NFL Draft at Birdies in Westfield. When he saw a 317 number was calling he didn't recognize, he just hoped no one was pranking him.

Colts go with another height-weight-speed freak in round two with Julius Brents. Ridiculously explosive and fluid at his size. If he can improve ball skills he’s going to be terrifying. Did a great job at the Senior Bowl: pic.twitter.com/ckjm53UC9Z

Just a reminder this is what Julius Brents did at the NFL Combine. Elite athlete. pic.twitter.com/eIp7AxiWxq
